More random ramblings before I disappear into my bubble for the day.

I have loads of shitty things going on in my life just now, especially health wise, you all know that, I'm not exactly quiet about it 😉 The state of the world right now is terrifying, looking at the news its hard not to just give up and think what is the damn point. A relentless avalanche of fear and misery.

But.

I am still finding lots of good things. So here is a list, sort of.

1. Lots of bees and butterflies in the garden.

2. The trees are starting to bud again, everything is coming back to life after a long grey winter.

3. I have a bench to sit on and enjoy the brighter days (yes, I had to mention that again).

4. I got a flyer through the door yesterday for a garden centre, which allows me to get a free pack of bedding plants.

5. Despite being a short, fat, broken potato, I can still do the splits even if its a really bad idea - actually, maybe that one shouldn't be on the list of good things 😂

6. I have a roof over my head, food in the kitchen, a huge pile of books and lots of craft stuff to keep me busy.

7. I am lucky enough to have some wonderful friends, especially on here, just in case I haven't mentioned it, you lovely folks absolutely rock and get me through the shite times.

8. I have a theatre trip next week, while I have some apprehension about it, I am looking forward to being back in Glasgow for the day.

9. I still find the strength to giggle and be silly with the child each day, that right there is a damn good reason to keep going.

10. Its race week.

So many of the things listed are mundane, little things but they still give me a spark of joy. Moments of joy don't need to be huge things, they can just be those little things that make you pause and smile for a second. More than ever, I think we all need to find those moments.

Thank you, as ever, for reading my random thoughts, you may continue with your day 😊

I love most of this quote, particularly the opening line "I've been thinking about the way, when you walk down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs to let you by." The allusions to God/spirituality are, for this atheist, beside the point when I'm taking what I need from this: a bump up in my faith in humanity whenever I notice these small gestures. Maybe you, too? #kindness #joy

A photo of a quote from another of my accounts else-web, Little Golden Notebook. It says: "I've been thinking about the way, when you walk down a crowded aisle, people pull in their legs to let you by. Or how strangers still say "bless you" when someone sneezes, a leftover from the Bubonic plague. "Don't die," we are saying. And sometimes, when you spill lemons from your grocery bag, someone else will help you pick them up. Mostly, we don't want to harm each other. We want to be handed our cup of coffee hot, and to say thank you to the person handing it. To smile at them and for them to smile back. For the waitress to call us honey when she sets down the bowl of clam chowder, and for the driver in the red pick-up truck to let us pass. We have so little of each other, now. So far from tribe and fire. Only these brief moments of exchange. What if they are the true dwelling of the holy, these fleeting temples we make together when we say, "Here, have my seat," "Go ahead-you first" "I like your hat." - Danusha Laméris, Small Kindnesses"

Despite everything, I hope we celebrate our trans #joy today.

If you're cis, educate yourself!! Don't be complacent. No TERFs. No deadnames. Be bold. Listen to trans, #non-binary and #gender-nonconforming folks. Be prepared to defend us.

While there is a long road ahead to liberation for all beings, #intersectional change is what is needed to bring it about. #Solidarity is how we win.

My friend @peteorrall said “experiencing joy is radical.” I’ve heard variations of that about happiness, laughter, and love.

They’re right. The oppressors want us sick and miserable.

Look to people who have been oppressed en masse. While they do have breaking points, they emerge because of their ability to love, laugh, and smile.

Be radical. Find joy. Find love. Find laughter.

A quote from James Baldwin that reads “the longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love—whether we call it friendship or family or romance—is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. It overlays a silhouetted bust shot of James, with a stoic expression, looking slightly up and off into the distance.
