Life...sometimes hurts

in Kindness Rocks2 months ago

Today I decided to set aside my household duties and take the time to paint a kindness rock.

I sat down in front of the bag I have of rocks to choose the right one. They were collected months ago and looking at them evoked mixed memories of joy and sadness. I pushed the sad cloud away from my mind and focused on imagining something pretty and colorful to capture on it.

I opened my box of acrylic markers and discovered to my chagrin that some of them have dry tips. I have used them very little and keep them in a cool place, out of the air and out of the sun. Conclusion...they are of lousy quality and the worst thing is that I don't think they are cheap...well...whatever. There are still a lot of usable ones left (the box brought 60) what I must propose to use them more often 😉.

The event that inspired me is sad, but I know that this detail of light among so much shadow will be welcome. Since last Friday I have a friend hospitalized with suspicion of an ectopic pregnancy. It would be her second, in the first one she lost a fallopian tube. The probabilities of losing the other tube are high and her dreams of having a child of her own, something she longs for with all her heart, would be cut short.

She is like a big girl, she likes flowers, sparkly things and lots of pink, so I will try to put a little bit of each on this rock. I will also write a positive message on it.

Now I think of Amonet, who paints her rocks so professionally, like little works of art. Me no matter how hard I try I can't stop painting like school work (from the first grades) 🤣. Drawing has always given me lousy, luckily the crafts I make do not take much drawing and when it gets complicated I make use of some tools to facilitate my task 😜.

This rock is ready, it will arrive tomorrow to its recipient and I hope it carries all the good vibes of the universe in it.

So sorry to hear about your friend, it's so devastating to be disappointed again and again over things so close to you yet you have no control.

I hope things aren't as bad as expected and perhaps miracles will happen for her

Life sometimes seems so unfair...but that's how it is. Thank you for your words 💚. I just talked to her a while ago and she is feeling better, tomorrow will be a decisive day...hopefully that miracle will happen. Hug 🤗

It doesn't matter the professionalism but that the rock is made with the heart and this rock is painted with love, hope and a lot of strength, the colours you chose say it, as well as a great purity.

Things in life often don't turn out the way you expect them to, but I can assure you that they happen for a reason that will be known later in time.

A big hug for you and your friend!🤗

Hello Amonet, I think the same, sometimes it seems unfair, painful, without reason, but nothing happens without reason. There is no pain that cannot be endured and no evil that does not bring a greater good....only time will tell. Gracias por tu comentario y por esos abrazos 🥰. Otro para ti 🤗, linda semana.

Everything is overcome with time and many things are understood. I send you both a big hug!

💚🥰🤗

Oh my... I am sorry to hear that your friend is going through this situation, I do hope everything will go well, we can just place our hopes and send positive thoughts... or kindness rocks as you did for her. You wrote her a beautiful message and the flowers are also so cute and positive <3

About the dried markers. Once you use them, you have to store them in a horizontal position so they don't dry out. Maybe you stored them well, but the warm weather did its thing. My open ones also dried, but I left them on the balcony, in the sun during the summer.

Thanks Mipiano 💚, hopefully today will bring encouraging news for my friend.

As for the markers ..😠..they are horizontal, in a cool place, no sunshine on them...vaya que salieron un poco malos 🥴. Linda semana para ustedes, un abrazo 🤗

Sorry to hear the sad news about your friend... 😞 Maybe this kindness rock does some miracle and things go in a good direction! Many times, the Universe works in that way and these kindness rocks are letters mailed directly to the "source"!

Btw. your art is your signature... Maybe others are doing differently, but that's the point... To be different, unique... and kind... 🙂
