I arranged for my friend who has been ill for many months to have a pedicure and manicure today by another friend in her home.
Long overdue on a regular basis, I know she enjoyed the attention and relaxation that goes hand in hand with taking some “me” time for yourself. Since she became ill I have tried to think of small things like this that would take her away from her everyday care and illness, and put her in another place that would allow her to think of something else besides being sick.
Small acts of kindness is something that I often write about and can be done in many different ways. A dozen donuts, a manicure, a trip to the store, a ride in your car, or even something as simple as a phone call just to “check in” with someone will be long remembered and appreciated. I thank my friend who took time from her Sunday to do this and want her to know, your help and time are greatly appreciated. It only takes a moment to do something nice, and takes longer not too.
