Yes, yes, yes... That describes us all!

We know we shouldn't moan, we don't mean to but it slips out with such ease, like a long practiced vice we wish we didn't own, but it is indeed a part of us. I think intention matters and it is clear you are not someone who revels in it, someone who is self-aware enough to fell that you have maybe fallen short of your values.

I don't think so, not really!

There are a lot of those 'misery loves company' types out there, we all know 'em, they can be extremely wearing, sometimes it feels they are deliberately trying to suck the joy from your soul too... Only happy when they are moaning... I wish they would jus... ... Oh wait, did I just do it??? 😁

Us fallible humans do engage in human nature sometimes don't we?

Look at that wonderful gratitude list, the friend who probably did start out as a chore, not in a bad way, not that you would ever really begrudge helping someone who truly needs it, but life is busy, right? These things need to be fit in around other things.

But to do it anyway and find and appreciate the gold in it, that is where the real story lies. There is likely a whole host of wonderful, often unforeseen benefits you both bring to each other in those times...

Maybe that's not it in entirety, but I believe it is a huge part of why we are here.

I should probably sign off by saying as I never really know when enough words have been written!!! I am grateful to stumble across your words committed to the screen page today, that created a warm tingly feeling in my chest.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend Sir, may it be filled with seemingly tiny, imperceptible moments that at first glance seem unremarkable, but stack in the memory and the soul as memorable for the warmth and appreciation that can be found within. 😊
