I spent most of last year in and out of the hospital. I was barely able to walk or stand l, so although I worked I spent the rest of my time laying in bed. It took a mental and physical toll on my body that’s been hard to recover from and I’ve pulled away socially. I’ve been depressed. I’m finally (slowly) recovering and on one of my morning walks I noticed the lavender heart hanging from a branch. I thought it must be a memorial for someone or from someone needing help. It turned out that it was meant for me and I realized I needed this random act of kindness. This help felt like an angel reached out to touch me and tell me to be patient with myself. It reminded me I wasn’t alone. I’m a school teacher so now I want to do something like this at school. Thank you to whoever made it and left it for me to discover. It reminded that I still matter.
