Show a little kindness

Tuesday 5th May, 2020. While the person next door may be feeling the pressure, and things are not what they seem in lockdown 3, it’s more important now than ever to show a little kindness…

The camera just snapped this one, but it kind of says it all, the jandals are waiting for the next journey and we are all facing uncertainty. Our plans, our dreams, our hopes for the future are all changed in a covid19 controlled world.

Yesterday, hit me with a flat white (packet variety), flat battery, easily fixed with the loan of some jumper leads from a kind neighbour. The keyboard warrior at work for most of the day, answering kiwis trying to make a dollar in the online world. The day was littered with sunshine, rain, warmth and chills from the sky’s above and the humans around us.

Just another work day in a world where only some things are certain…a dog will always want a cuddle and is always excited by food (left over mashed potato a hit). Some things will always be a surprise (not always a good one), but humans are humans and we don’t know their stories or their tipping point (sounds like a game show), so even if their unkindness is a surprise, we need to let it go and just be there if they need help or support.

The words all along have been, stay home, stay safe and be kind. I have done my best to help all those around me, but it certainly appears it is time to move on, and we look forward to the next chapter in the story.

NZ you have done an amazing job of not letting this virus take control(first day with zero new cases)!but the cost of the economy and personal freedom is certainly taking its toll on the mere humans……but this little bubble will not give up because the glass is half full, right?
