I love Rumi’s quote “somewhere beyond right and wrong there is a garden, I will meet you there.” It’s a powerful reminder that even in the midst of intense emotions, we have the capacity to transcend division and connect on a deeper level by choosing to listen with empathy❤️😊🙏🏾

Usually it annoys me in all honesty. When it's a charity you support feels different. And I think dementia is so prevalent very emotive. The lady said she was having a good response.

Fundraiser knocked on my door today for @alzheimersresearchuk.org Despite current controversies and media attention around a recently published Cochrane review, research remains vitally important. Let's just say this young woman didn't quite expect the conversation we had!

A yellow sea of deep yellow dandelions and butter yellow cowslips stretch out into a blue, puffy cloud sky

Clouds and a chalk path, with a streak in the clouds matching the path

Clouds and a light blown field ready to be planted

Ahhhhh. Nightmare!

Trying to do my Hungarian homework.

It's a fascinating language, and while it's not easy, Czech was definitely harder (no kidding!). I'm enjoying it and I want to continue.

But it's a lovely day out there, I saw a goldfinch earlier, and can I concentrate?! 🤦‍♀️

Missed my runs. Struggled a wee bit today. Too much Napoli pizza!

Is it fuel related that you can't go to Birmingham?

Take the wrong lesson from a movie:

This is true 😞

Still watching The Pitt.

Season 2 features a chap who is rationing his insulin, and not testing his blood glucose because he can't afford the insulin or the testing strips.

His insurance came from his employer, and he lost his job.

It is a ridiculous system you folks have in the US. Sorry, folks.

Robby is tired, cynical, clearly burned out to a crisp. The character arc from the optimistic young chap in ER to this character is essentially THE journey of a lot of people his age working in healthcare.

I see you, brother. I see you.

Would you ever get to sleep?

A lovely read to look forward to courtesy of the wonderful generosity of @emmavardy2.bsky.social & the lovely (as always) @biggreenbooks.bsky.social 💛

Ah enjoy. I hope you love it as much as I did. Xx

You're right there Jen. It's going to take me time to process.

She's okay. Sad. Glad funeral was fitting. A weight lifted. Some guilt. Also relief. Thinking about herself for first time in ages. A new chapter in life. Thanks for asking Jen. X
