Spreading the love
I have been thinking about this over and over and putting the right words down is sometimes hard, that's why you'll never find a post from me without an image.
I express things better that way.
I have been reading a few wonderful things around the blogosphere of late and it makes me tearful, with joy that people feel this way.
If you have been following my journey over the last year you'd know about what happened that tore my world apart and left a hole in my heart that is still struggling to heal.
So even though I have kinda been this way I have found that I have become more empathetic and understanding towards people's struggles.
So if I have made you smile even for a teeny bit with a little photo and card, I am glad but I have done it because I felt that some love needed to be spread even with the simplest of gestures.
If you feel like there is someone that needs a little bit of loving I hope you will take a minute out of your busy schedule and send them an email, or a note, or pop round and say hello, you never know how much that person needs it.
I feel the love!(I am off to wipe away a few more tears)

How lovely... it's the random acts of kindness that always overwhelm and humble you isn't it?

(PS Olivia, has just informed me your blog has 'Xanadu magic' (i.e. the cursor - how cute!))
Your beautiful photographs say so much. Hope you're going to have a brilliant day today:) xo

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post :) It's nice to have some good feeling spread through blogland! I love your photos! :)
ReplyDeletethat was a really lovely post! A great way to start the morning by reading this. xo
ReplyDeleteSometimes a kind word and gesture come from the most unexpected people. It's nice that as a society we care for each other when we are licking our wounds. Lovely post Cathie
ReplyDeleteOh, I just read about your loss. I hope the pain had eased a tiny bit. You're special. Thanks for all the love you're spreading through your blog.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you Cathie.Just taking time for others always makes a life much better.God Bless!
ReplyDeleteI think in blogland, as in real life, you get back what you give and you sure are an amazingly generous and thoughtful giver my friend.
ReplyDeleteI hope all these small gestures can together take some of the pain away and make this difficult time a bit more bearable.
We are thinking of you and your family.
Lots of love XX
Thank you for thinking of everyone else, when things are hard for you too. You know your card arrived just at the right time for me. (I also have tears in my eyes).XX
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet, Cathie!
ReplyDeleteDear Cathie, you are a treasure in the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteI lost my dad over 10 years ago, and it's not an easy journey.
xx
hugs to you
Lovely Cathie, and a great prompt to do those things we think about- like 'must call x' and, well, if you are me, the thought often gets lost. I visited a sick girlfriend on the way home from work last night- slight bit of self sacrifice because it threw my schedule out, but, it was absolutely worth it. Nice does matter!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much for all of your lovely sweet words and your visits and your cupcake deliveries - and a huge thanks to you for taking the time to think of me when it's such a difficult time for you and your whole family. I really truly appreciate it.

ReplyDeleteCathie you are beautiful and so is this post, you are amazingly sweet kind and thoughtful person.
ReplyDeleteYou continue to give and give to those around you while you suffer yourself.
I hope that over time this suffering and pain will lessen. Sending you much love and hugs, dear one. xo
cathie, I think you are one of the most generous and warm souls in this blogosphere... thank you for being who you are, and hoping you and your family receive the love and comfort you need on those hard days xx
ReplyDeleteHey beautiful Cathie, it's what goes around, spreading love with a smile, gift, friendship, it's just in some people's make up & others need people like you to draw it out of them. I've shed plenty of tears lately too, for many reasons, bloggers have been the kindest!! Um, like 26 comments when i did a photoless post about being burgled, yet not one single in-law rang to see if i was alright - home alone with 4 children, smashed front windows??!! Yeah for bloggers!! Love you, love Posie
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post Cathie. From reading your blog I think you are one of life's generous people and it is no suprise that it comes back to you. Thinking of you and your family as you go through this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteYou thoughtful, caring, sweet sweet Cathie, you!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending lots and lots and lots of love down under to you my dear. xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
