When so much of your day is a struggle, a little kindness goes a long way. Seth struggles with many things and sometimes the days can be unbearable for the both of us.
Recently we have seen kindness and love, even in strangers. Seth had to do bloodwork which is known to cause violent panic attacks. Physically we can barely handle it. So I called the lab the day before with a crazy question...sure the answer would be no. "could we draw the blood from the car..?" He will be strapped into the car seat which will help with the physical battle. Also remaining in the car will help with anxiety and transition. She said yes!!! Very nicely too!! She was amazing and it helped Seth so much! She could've done what was easier for her but she didn't. She had compassion and kindness and she made our day that much better!
Even when someone allows us to go before them in a check out line. We only go to very small stores with Seth and only on the perfect day. That gives him the best opportunity to be successful. Any kindness on an outting goes a long way.
We struggle with transiitons, anxiety, fatigue, pain and even criticism from our own family. But when a friend understands or a stranger reaches out...You realize that there is good, that there are good poeple out there and there are blessings all around. Even if it's just a text that says "I understand, praying for yall." Kindess can go a long way. Kindness, no matter how small can change the way someone's day is going. It can truly touch someones heart in the best way. I always try to be kind, you never know what someone is dealing with in their life. Kindess can be someone's miracle to keep on going...to not give up...to not lose their smile.
