Touch

This is my youngest Granddaughter, Abigail. She recently had yet another surgery. As she slept my daughter reached out to touch her and pray for her. Touch is a priceless gift.

Some years ago I was flying home to Sydney from Thailand. I was upgraded to First Class and when the hostess came to offer me a welcome drink she saw I was crying my eyes out. I felt I owed her some explanation so I told her saying goodbye to my best friend, who lives in Thailand, was always heart breaking. She told me she understood and as she walked away she gently touched my shoulder.

Now I am sure that gentle shoulder touch is something they are probably trained to do, but, in that moment it was priceless. The power of a gentle hand, a sincere touch can never be overestimated.

Who has lifted your spirits by a loving, gentle touch?

#MightyPoets are amazing at putting together relatable content that provides strength to those in need. I am one of those people. Whilst I am getting back on my feet I also struggle but in helping others you can help in your own recovery by using words and motivation and inspiration to help others cope too. It's in fighting demons and having strategies and techniques in place that we all reach our happy place. #Bipolar1 #Depression #Anxiety #PanicAttacks
