Oooooooooh, how lovely to read this again, Sabrina - and thank you so much for the mention!

Community is so important, isn't it? Although it's always been my default position to keep myself to myself for the most part I deeply appreciate the people where I live and the sense of community that we share with our friends and neighbours. x

Those connections are so important for keeping us tied to the world and to each other in a blessed way. xx

What a lovely post about community, thoughtfulness, and appreciating the small, nice things people can do for one another. Just what we need at the moment. Thank you for re-posting this important message. It fills me up.

It's time to double down on doing those kind acts to one another and pay attention to do those for us. We're going to need them!

I certainly understand your distraction. Everything seems to be a big fat blur right now. It's going to take quite a while to bring things into focus.

What a beautifully subtle essay on kindness , Sabrina. AND how lucky you are to have such wonderful deliveries to the door.

I'm sure the same thing is gradually happening in your life on the Isle.

PS: My thoughts are with all your family and friends in the States, just now.

We really did have such a magical Lane there. We are in a different sort of neighbourhood now so not quite the same intimacy, but there are now a few places where we wave at the shop keepers we know, and that is how it begins. Thanks for the kind thoughts. It will be a long ride, so we better buckle in, and focus on the beauty and kindness we can hold onto.

I hope you are witnessing the improvement in health of your beloved JRT every day. His health is even more important to all of us now! ❤️
