"Choose Kindness"
By Gevee Boudreau

Kindness is not a matter of intellectual comprehension; it's a matter of the heart. We don't need to fully grasp the intricacies of another person's experiences to offer a helping hand, a listening ear, or a word of encouragement.

Kindness doesn't require logic, it requires grace—a willingness to extend compassion, understanding, and support, even when we don't fully understand the complexities of their situation.

It's about recognizing the shared humanity that binds us, the inherent worth and dignity that resides in every soul.
So, let us choose kindness, not because we understand, but because we care, because we believe in the power of compassion to heal, to uplift, and to make the world a little brighter, one act of grace at a time.

Wise wisdom.Sharing & loving.x

We are coming to the end of another unique year.
You have a couple of weeks left,
to let it all go.

Let go of worry, what will be will be.
Let go of regret, what’s done is done.
Let go of anger, it’s prolonging your pain.

Let it all go and make way.

You cant reach for the new, if your arms are full of yesterday’s baggage.

We can’t go back, my friends, but we can move on, lightly, without that load.

So...
Let it all go, set it all down.
It’s dragging you back.
And you're not going back,
You’re going forward.

So go forward, with peace.

You did what you did,
life gave what it gave,
and we are who we are.

March on…

Love first.

I love when serendipity flows.
This week driving to see someone I thought very randomly of King Charles Spaniels, then lo & behold I saw they had one when I arrived.
I spoke to one person who shared a beautifully written family poem that brought tears to my eyes & had just left someone who also told of someone writing a family poem which was beautiful.
I have these kinds of moments happen time & time again.......do you have any stories to share?
Love a wee story.
Meanwhile, hubby & I found this tree in a charity shop a few years ago, brought it home, put it together, moved furnisher time & again & eventually had to admit defeat & take it back as it was taking up half the room it was so big😅.
It still brought a smile again seeing the picture which popped up as a reminder of the tree we loved but was not ours to keep.Lol.🩵
That's me shared some musings for another day.Have a good one folks🩵

Some posts, articles & conversations grab our attention.
Some a few maybe need to see, hear & have at the time.
Loved the wisdom of this post.It may resonate with someone.💗

“Whatever happens, stay alive.
Don't die before you're dead.
Don't lose yourself, don't lose hope, don't loose direction. Stay alive, with yourself, with every cell of your body, with every fiber of your skin.

Stay alive, learn, study, think, read, build, invent, create, speak, write, dream, design.
Stay alive, stay alive inside you, stay alive also outside, fill yourself with colors of the world, fill yourself with peace, fill yourself with hope.
Stay alive with joy.

There is only one thing you should not waste in life,
and that's life itself..."
Virginia Woolf

My lovely friend Maria shared this post.I felt it was also worth sharing.
A few may resonate with this.Sending love if you do🩵

This Christmas and New Year, as the world celebrates with joy and togetherness, some of us will feel the weight of absence. The empty seats at the table, the silences where laughter used to echo, and the memories of those who are no longer with us will remind us of the void they left behind.

It’s not easy. The traditions they were a part of, the little things they used to do—whether it was decorating the tree, telling the same old stories, or simply being there—are now memories we hold close to our hearts. The holidays bring a bittersweet ache, a mixture of gratitude for the time we had and longing for just one more moment.

But even in their absence, their love lingers. They are in the songs we sing, the meals we share, and the traditions we continue. Their presence lives on in the way they shaped us, in the lessons they taught, and in the love they gave so freely.

This season, let’s honor them by cherishing the ones still here, by creating new memories while holding the old close. Let’s light a candle for them, raise a glass in their name, or carry on something they loved to do.

Grief may soften over time, but the love never fades. And perhaps, in those quiet moments when we feel their absence the most, we can also feel their presence in the warmth of our hearts, reminding us that they are never truly gone.

This Christmas, let’s embrace the love they left behind and share it generously with those around us. Because love, after all, is the greatest gift we can give or receive.

As wedding bookings come in for next year.....a wee reminder popped up in this post & was a reminder.......
When you feel at home with the one you love, you are home🩷

Thank you Joanne Kavanagh for another of your lovely poems.
This one may just touch the spot for a few. ❤️🌲

THE CHRISTMAS ANGEL

Up on top of the Christmas tree
The Christmas Angel watches over you
She radiates Christmas Spirit
And love from her heart so true
She watches over your family
And keeps them wrapped in Christmas cheer
She'd like you to pass on these gifts
And use them right throughout the year
When you're missing loved ones
Who once gathered round the tree
She sends her rays of comfort
And wraps them around you lovingly
At Christmas time she brings
A little piece of Heaven to your home
To carry with you through the new year ahead
Wherever you should roam

Loved this very simple idea & will be making a few up.
Whatever your thoughts or beliefs, it may appeal to a few as something to add as a bit more christmas/solstice touch.❤️

Two things came up in facebook memories.
Its 13 years since I passed my drive test after three, long, very tense years of learning & being one nervous driver for the first six months.
Since then I have drove the length & breadth of these Isles-
Makes you think of having faith in yourself & overcoming fears💛
The second was this wedding for a gorgeous couple on Coldingham beach on a cold autumn morning.
I then went to the car park & discovered I had not put my car brake on fully & the car rolled & took out a low wall.Car was fine as well🤣.
Life can be filled with chances to create the best of memories.
If you have the opportunity to grab & make them, then maybe do it. 💛
Loved this picture & day, despite hitting wall💛

A wee bit Christmas cheer to look forward to.x.x.x

Having been a celebrant for over seven years now & a 'healer' for 20 years, I never tire of learning from another experience that reminds me of all the different places people are in & experiences they are having or going through.
We are a huge melting pot of souls.
I find this amazingly talented writer hits the mark time & again.
So much wisdom in one soul.
What a gift.
Ullie also reminds others they are a gift.
A gift to be treasured.
Which reminds me maybe try this;
Tell yourself several times today;
'I am a gift to be treasured'
When you are saying this, think of a huge smile in your solar plexus, thats radiating a wee bit more good vibes around you.
Do it for a few days or more if you can & see if it helps you radiate a wee bit more of the good stuff for you & others around you.
Or, share your own tips with us.....would love that.....we are never done learning from each other.......meantime, have a braw day & remembering to reach out helps us to reach in to those places where we let the healing in.💛
Thank you to the ones who are there for me when I reach out.You know who you are💛
