I gave the first compass bracelet I bought to my mother’s caregiver. She had been a blessing to my family during my mother’s illness. I wanted her to know that I would never forget her above and beyond tender loving care so gave it to her on the first anniversary of my mother’s passing. She appreciated it so much that I was inspired to repeat the giving.
I just bought another for a friend’s birthday and will be putting it in the mail for her. She lives in another state, but always shows me kindness. Each day our text exchanges keep us connected and help us manage the challenges of every day living.
And now, I have treated myself to this bracelet! At this time of the Covid pandemic, it seems valuable to have a visual reminder that kindness matters. Staying home,,,,safer at home guidelines are hard. I plan to wear each day to remind me to be kind and look for ways to connect with others who may need a kind word or deed.
