@Minholkin Always be kind. Kindness costs nothing. And if kindness is too expensive then silence is even cheaper.

Behold a new Christ
Behold the same old horde
Gather at the altering
New beginning, new word
And the word was death
And the word was without light
The new beatitude
Good luck, you're on your own

1982 and I never crushed so hard on someone as I was crushing on her. Man oh man.

They should announce a sequel to Ground Hog Day and just re-release the original.

So I attended a Mental Health First Aid training today. Really interesting. They went through how to spot signs and symptoms that people are struggling, getting worse, or in crisis. They also talked about how to listen, how to use nonjudgmental language, how to encourage people, and how to connect people to professional help. Came back with lots.of resources and a lot of food for thought.
They offer US classes here:

They do offer classes internationally, too.

@testamonk @Minholkin I think kindness costs a little bit. Nothing is truly free. But kindness is worth it, and pays off not just for you, but for everyone. It's a good investment, and a solid choice. And it's a lot less expensive than cruelty or apathy.

The numbing agent has finally worn off from the dental procedure I had this morning. Thank goodness as I've not eaten and I'm hungry!
I'll leave you with this picture of an early sunrise my friend, Tom took recently. TTFN 💜

So, it turns out that when you talk to someone who doesn't disbelieve or think that you are exaggerating about your past and all that it entails, it feels good.
Who knew?! Ok. People in therapy etc knew but whatever. 😆
And I'm off to my first psychiatric assessment. Yeah!

So, this is a downspout on one of the buildings on our walk home. I don't see many details like this on newer connections which makes sense but also makes boring.
Whoops. This is the one with Mrs. Connors. Bet you can't guess her first name? 🤪
And now, painting ceramics with the wife.
