vortex

Today was the first day most were able to be out from the week of frozen #vortex here. It is like I just have to be nice to everyone when I'm out.  First, the lady in front of me needed help getting her cart unlocked as it had been awhile since she was there.  As I rounded the corner to go in, a much older lady (late 80's?) had her cart on the ground on its side!  Probably b/c of all the snow on the ground.  Poor dear!!  I went to help as another (younger) lady and a man came too.  But first she wanted us to wait... her hearing aid was on the ground :(  and she got that before I could get down there.  Then I said she could step back and we'd get the cart.  The other lady and I agreed it was too full of snow so we went to get her a new cart.  At that time, a man who was finished shopping gave his cart to her! I put the first cart back and headed in to shop.  I gave her the quarter from her first cart and got a bit of trash out of her cart.  
I also helped someone find a hidden item and midst the 4 very long check-out lines every one was patient. #cabinfever
I wondered to myself where I get this kindness and cheerfulness in my  rare level of severe treatment-resistant depression. #hisfaithfulness  
In Starbucks I suddenly noticed a little 2 y/o or so standing beside me while I was journaling. He had a fist-bump for me. #smile He gave #Kindness to me! ♥ #Depression#Anxiety#treatmentresistant #52SmallThings
