I'm not easily shocked or surprised, but today I had a real act of kindness that did just both.
Jo, a good friend at work went out of her way, took a chance last night and brought me the most beautiful fascinator out of the blue as an early birthday present to cheer me up. It is a riot of beautiful vibrant colours that will go fab with my wedding outfit and she did that just to pick me up from the very bad place that I was in yesterday. You can't thank somebody enough when they do something like that, so all you can do is hug them as if you'll never let them go and whisper thank you from the bottom of your heart and hope that they know you mean it.
And yes it helped me no end. So today I was able to say my demons out loud and get on with life again. The saying is true, that you can't help the hand you are dealt with, but you sure as hell help the way you deal with it. Everyone is allowed a wobbly day now and again. If I didn't have mine yesterday, I might have taken for granted how lucky I really am. Thank you Jo, you are a star!
Lots of love Debbie x
About Me
- Me...Debbie Burden... or known as Burders
- I'll be 55 this August... I've had bronchiectasis for ten years plus this year... End stage lung disease for the past year...been on oxygen for three years... and have I got used to it yet?... nah! I am now waiting for the biggie; a double lung and maybe a heart transplant. I love my life weirdly enough, because I have some wonderful family and friends who are with me every step of the way on my adventures, even though I embarrass them on a daily basis with my unorthodox way of looking at life. Not for the faint hearted!
