PROMPT May 15th Write about a time when you or someone you know acted selflessly. What was the motivation and what were the results? Acts of kindness, whether random or not, are what bring me the most happiness. In my doing, and in someone else's doing. They remind me that people care about me and I am loved. And when I perform them myself I get a warm feeling. On a greedy, selfish level I do enjoy that feeling. So, selfless? Yes, technically. But no in reality because I do get something enjoyable out of it. One such act happened not too long ago. I was in Anaheim with my church pals and enjoying the entire experience. But two days after we arrived I fell quite sick. High fever, cough, body aches. I couldn't get out of my hotel bed! And yes, it was very possible I contracted coronavirus. My roommate and another friend took care of me for the entire time. Bringing me food, cold washcloths, medicine and water. Lots of water. I was miserable. But I recovered enough to make the trip home. Needless to say I went straight to bed went I got home. And my husband took over my care. He asked me one morning if I'd like some soup. Soup? I love soup! Especially chicken soup! And I've told people my whole life I make the best chicken soup in the county. My answer was a resounding YES! But Spouse also told me he would need help since he'd never made soup in his life. Not to worry. I would walk him through it. So he dragged off to the store and returned with all the necessary items. And with love and care and a desire to help me get well, he made one of the best pots of soup I'd ever had. He was so proud of himself. And I was proud of him too. And yes, it did help me feel better. At the end of the day I felt blessed and was happy, even though it took me nearly two months to get well. Thank God for my friends in Anaheim. And thank God for Spouse. I know that I am loved. By the way, I was tested for two strains of flu, and I was tested for coronavirus. All three of them came back negative. But even so I still believe I had the coronavirus. Never want to go through that again! |
