being kind
.
life
is hard sometimes
things
can change overnight
and in those times of adversity
we learn
the truth I of who we are
the simplest kind acts
can heal us
compassion through pain

Some of you know that the past several years have challenged my family more than we could have imagined. My wife suffered a debilitating illness as a result of medical mistakes, resulting in loss of income and most heartbreaking, the end of a career she loved. Ironically, as a healthcare progressional herself, the treatment errors have felt like a betrayal, only adding to the trauma. I have watched her fight for her life from the abyss of depression, remembering who she is and finding new ways to be. She deals with daily unrelenting pain, and has to navigate the world on wheels now, and yet she is kind. Every Friday she loads herself into her truck, fitted to allow her to drive, and volunteers at a wildlife rescue center.

Life can change in an instant. But we can choose to meet challenges with grace, determination, and kindness.

much love, peace, and glimmers to you.
