Sunday's day of self care involved the caring of someone someone else during a difficult time. My dear friend Ms. Kat had a fire at her building the night before. Though she will not have lost everything, all of her belongings were crated up and moved to a location for salvaging. She however has been displaced and I could only imagine how scary that must be for her. I imagined how I would have felt and that is all I needed.
There is an intense satisfaction that you get when helping those that are in need. It is less about you and I believe more just about being the right thing to do. It is how you should be in my opinion. The satisfaction I believe comes from the feeling that it's just right. It is how it should be.
It also elicits a feeling that I predominantly felt around my grandfather. I was so proud of that man. he was the kindest and would do anything and everything for anyone, but especially for those people very dear to him. It is something I have worked for my entire life, but I feel I will always be short of him. I keep trying though. It is how I feel toward my friends however.
So today's self care was all about making sure my friend was comfortable and it comforted me in a way that I really and truly cannot explain.
