Looking for kindness in everything...

Last week I managed to get to another Happiness Project course, this time it was Nurture and Kindness. Not just to yourself but to your fellow man too. We all sat round and discussed firstly what happiness means to us. Then what Nurture and Kindness means to us by working in groups and writing on a large piece of paper our beliefs. For example things that cropped up were writing poetry or visiting an elderly person. Quite a varied subject really and certainly made you think. We were also given a card on which we were to write 3 things, that we could do in either one day or a period of several days that related to nurture and kindness. Again there was a lot more discussed, including an aspect of psychology.
Afterward the seated part, we were then asked to take some coloured thread and we spent quite sometime filling the room by connecting and intertwining the thread. This was to show that for every action we do, there are always at least 3 people we can affect with that decision etc.

A week later, I am due to go to another session tomorrow. However this week has been very up and down with the fibro, in fact today is a pretty rubbish day with tiredness (I am surprised I am writing this), as well as everything else. So we shall have to see how everything goes. As well as a happiness course, I have found out that there is a meeting for people with Fibromyalgia very near me. So as bad as I may feel now and possibly tomorrow, it would be rude to not go to the fibro meeting, as everyone there is going to be in the same boat, so they won't think I am rude if I am struggling. Which is something I can experience, when I am not with it, or I struggling to speak or function in anyway. I am aware that because I have all my arms and legs and can just about walk, that people don't think there is anything wrong with me. Yet invisible disabilities are very real and very difficult to deal with. 

Anyway away from the difficulties I can face, I always try to stay positive and have a smile on my face. So in the spirit of the start of this particular post, my 3 things I have or intend to do as an act of nurturing and kindness are:

1. Give my orthodontist a box of chocolates for all the work and care they have given me over the last 2 years. 
2. Do something special for my fiance for all the love and kindness he always shows me, so something as simple as make him a meal etc
3. Be kinder to myself and not put myself down so much, in regards of my looks and my disability.
