are you okay?








my feeling on this is:

this is a good
good

thing


so good in fact that

why not make it 'r u okay day' every day

if you can



check in with friends and loved ones who might be struggling



let friends and loved ones know you care about them



even when (it seems) they aren't struggling



let friends and loved ones know that they


matter


to you



This simple act

has made a world of difference to me

in my own journey


and

because of that kindness and care


I am

here

today

  2. The last couple of years have been difficult for me. My Mother died, I was laid off for awhile and I am trying to HS my daughter. I am also a single mom.

    I so agree with you. Without the support of people in my life who cared if I was 'ok', I would never had made it. Love this post.

    And Karen, your blog shows so much positive, loving energy—I'm grateful that I get to read it. And writing about all that joy, finding it when you have had your own difficult times is inspirational. So thank you, for that, and for your comment :-)
