thinking the best

Lonely old day yesterday tho I tried to busy myself with jobs I won't be able to do later this week – I'm not supposed to lift anything more than 5lbs in weight which is barely anything and is going to be a massive challenge!
I also got to notice how hard it can be for some folk to think the best of others. I know I can find it hard at times, and I know we're surrounded by a culture than promotes competition and judgement. Still, it surprises me when I hear people critical of what others are wearing, how they are parenting, the choices they have made. What does it serve to be so undermining of others? And yet in that very observation, I am being critical of them myself. I know they too are doing the best they can in that moment, and tho I know that can sound patronising, I mean it.

I'm not yet sure what I'll occupy myself with today, but I've decided it's definitely not going to be my tax form...
