It's been a rough week, this last week. It feels like every task on my plate is suddenly due, like a bowl full of fruit that all goes ripe at once. And I'm the one playing 'chubby bunny' with it all, trying to stuff it all in before the proverbial poo hits the fan.
I pulled a few hours over the weekend, and have worked 10-12 hour days. I've been tired and grouchy, emotional, and high on exhaustion. I've been a bitch to some, and have been extra-kind to some others. I've rolled my eyes at the mention of some names. Yep. It's been a rough week.
And in the past few days, I have encountered... kindness. From someone I haven't paid attention to, I received compassion. From the one I was bitchy too in a moment of weariness, concern for my health. A helping hand from someone as busy and overwhelmed as myself. A knowing smile from someone across the room, while I roll my eyes at the mention of another name. An encouraging pat on the back from one, a funny story from another, a moment of light-hearted playfulness.
Surely the kindness was there before, and I have just been a bit blind to it...? What NICE people I am surrounded by. I may have had a rough week, but my life is so much more colourful for better knowing the beautiful people around me.
Blessed, grateful and overtired!
Peace out!
