Bom dia amada :)
Sometimes it takes sadness to know happiness, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.

Real love is opening your heart to the unlovable. Real gratitude is giving thanks when things arenāt perfect. Real generosity is sharing when you have very little. Real courage makes the āimpossibleā ā possible, with real faith. ā Bryant McGill
(I am working late at night in a 24-hour pharmacy. There are only three customers in the store: a scruffy but clean young couple and another gentleman. The woman in the young couple is very heavily pregnant, and her partner is picking up the range of baby hats we carry and holding them up against her stomach, then looking at the prices and sadly putting them back. They pick up a packet of the cheapest pain medication we carry and bring it to the counter.)
Female Customer: āIām sorry, but can you please ask the pharmacist if these are safe for me to take?ā
Me: āOf course!ā
(While weāre waiting for the pharmacist to come out, they tell me theyāre expecting their daughter any day now. The pharmacist has been watching the young couple since they came in.)
Pharmacist: āThese are fine, but can I ask why you need them?ā
Female Customer: āOh, I have a horrible cough thatās making my back ache even worse. I canāt get to sleep.ā
(The pharmacist goes through a list of cough medicines safe for her to take, before the young man shakes his head with tears in his eyes.)
Male Customer: āIām sorry, Iāve just lost my job and we really canāt afford any of those. Sorry for wasting your time.ā
Pharmacist: āThatās okay, but this packet is damaged, and legally I canāt let you take it. Seeing as it was the last one, let me and [my name] go look in the back for some more.ā
(The pharmacist takes me out the back, where he puts three packets of name brand painkillers, four bottles of name brand cough syrup, a wheat bag for her back, a tin of formula, a packet of newborn nappies and a few of the hats the couple was looking at into a box. He hands me the box and tells me to take it out to them. I do and they both burst into tears, thanking us over and over again. They leave with huge smiles on their faces.)
Female Customer: āThank you again!ā
Other Customer: āIām sorry, I couldnāt help but over hear. Did you say you just lost your job at [local company]?ā
Male Customer: āYes, I was an IT tech.ā
Other Customer: āI own [other computer store in the area], and Iām looking for a new tech. Can you start tomorrow?ā
(There were tears all round that night. A week later, the young woman brought in her beautiful daughter and a giant batch of cupcakes for the pharmacy staff. Best night at work ever!)
āLearn to be alone and like it. There is nothing more freeing and empowering than to like your own companyā- Mandy Hale
This is a lesson that I had to learn this past weeks, but a very important one! Itās good and I feel that itās needed to take a step back away from everything and give yourself some headspaceš¾. The best thing you can do for you is to give you time!

My redeemer, who knows the desires of my heart,
If youāre going to leave me again, then please stop it. Stop doing this to me, stop coming back in my life just when I began to forget about you. Youāre so cruel you know? Picking at a wound only to see it bleed again, have some self control.
