This is an important point:
Right now a LOT is happening and it feels selfish/wrong/unimportant/etc. to be upset about the regular stressors in your life (relationship, work, money, etc.).
Well your feelings are still valid. The pain is still real. It's not a competition.
#MakeKindnessNormal
Today is a good day to spread some random notes of encouragement.
You never know what folks are going through. If even one note makes someone's day better it will not have been a waste of time/effort.
#MakeKindnessNormal
It's been too long since I reminded you that I love you; I apologize. It's been a lot lately and I've finally gotten a bit of rest.
I love you.
#MakeKindnessNormal
If ever I'm associated with a movement (the Maker Movement, Right to Repair, #MakeKindnessNormal, etc) please honor the effort itself and not me by name.
I don't need/want that anyway.
Here's hoping I have a positive impact at all, much less enough for something like that level of recognition.
If you're a victim and the news today is weighing heavily on you today please remember that we are not alone.
We have endured much and we will endure this and we will be there for each other the best we can.
Together we survive another day.
I love you.
#MakeKindnessNormal
Right back at you. Thanks for sending kindness out into the world.
May harmony find you.

It is 8:46 AM Eastern and I'm glad you are alive.

Together we are mighty!
Take care of yourself and each other.
#MakeKindnessNormal
I don't comment on a lot of things to keep my space here safe for people who rely on the positive notes while avoiding things that are causing them harm; I trust y'all generally know how I feel about things.
Anyway today is a good day for self care. Be kind to yourself please.
#MakeKindnessNormal
Today is a great day to reach out to someone you haven't talked to in a bit and tell them you're thinking about them.
Tell folks you appreciate them now, while they're still here to be told.
Love y'all.

I'm proud of you. Surviving all this is not easy and yet you persist. I'm glad we're here together and not alone.
Keep going. One foot in front of the other. We will make it through. Together.
#MakeKindnessNormal
Be kind to folks; you may not know who's a survivor:

Heavy times call for lots of help; check on your friends and neighbors. Check on yourselves.
Have you had enough water? Have you eaten? Have you taken a break for your mental health?
Remember that you are loved and we are not alone.
#MakeKindnessNormal
The state of the world is not conducive to relaxation or stress reduction these days.
Today is a great day to reach out to folks and check on them; now more than ever we all need to support each other.
Remember we are in this together; we are not alone.

A fire burning in a proper fire pit located fat from any structures and babysat by me the entire time
I don't usually post about these sorts of things (because I don't do them for online clout) but I have been convinced to share examples to hopefully inspire others.
Tonight my act of kindness was to build a fire for the local Sikh temple for a celebration they hosted.
#MakeKindnessNormal
Kindness in a world that lionizes petty thuggery is punk AF.
#MakeKindnessNormal
I love you too. I would never talk for anyone else. But i trust others may join. If they do not... keep up. Please.
#MakeKindnessNormal
It's 3:39 PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive. Now more than ever.
I love you.

A top down view of a pot of turkey bones and small chunks of meat simmering gently in a large pot.
Things suck right now so I'm simmering a turkey carcass for 7-9 hours to make a wonderful broth that I use to make homemade noodles.
Find something to do for yourself/others to bring a little bit of comfort in all this. We need it now.
#MakeKindnessNormal
My house smells amazing!
Today is a good day to remember to take care of yourself and each other.
Stress levels have been high for what feels like forever and now they're even higher.
This chronic stress isn't normal or healthy. Please take care of yourself.
You are loved.

#MakeKindnessNormal
I do this too; together we can #MakeKindnessNormal
Sometimes i seek you out to see pure work at kindness and true respect for others. Thank you. Keep being you. #MakeKindnessNormal
I love you.
I don't have the right words so all I can say is that I love you and that I'm glad you are here.
Thank you.
#MakeKindnessNormal
Me to a friend: "I feel like I am so behind; there are too many things I need to get done."
Friend: "Frankly I'm in awe of how much you get done. I think I'd burn out if I tried to do half of that."
Me: "Thanks; I really needed to hear that today."
Compliment your friends and #MakeKindnessNormal
