    I'm crying 🥺🥺 a few days ago a patient was having a particularly hard time battling the voices, I was ordering milkshakes and offered her one, she was so grateful and couldn't stop smiling 🤗 well just woke up for morning meds to find this at the end of my bed with a wee note from her 🥺💖💖

    Told my dad about the guardian angel I posted above from another patient and this is part of his reply, so obviously I'm in tears again, he's not the soppy type 🥺🥺🥺

    Went for a walk and met an elderly man and his dog. His dog wanted to play so the man let us throw his ball for him for a little while and we got chatting, he was really lovely and Zeus was also very lovely

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Totally agree with this, getting yourself part of a caring online community can be such a blessing! Especially over the past year where online communication has been basically a necessity. :grimace:

    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    One of my cats was snuggled up with me earlier and it was adorable especially when she was trying to grab my hand and pull it towards her so I would stroke her. And she kept on trying to snuggle her head under my arm so she could get as close to me as possible.
