It's real commendable, what you do.

If I can fix it, why complain about it if that's not going to change anything? That's a beautiful thing to learn from this.

Thank you for sharing.👏🏾

I am glad that stood out for you. It was something that helped me deal with worry. I figured worrying doesn't solve much. So if I find myself complaining about something, I take an action to fix it, and if it is out of my hands, I send details to the person/body in charge of fixing it. It has helped my peace of mind.

Hi Blessing. This was profound!!. When I first started reading, I was like "pick toilet paper off the floor of a dirty public toilet 😳😳🤢?" I would rather count rice.

But at the end of the letter, I realized I just learnt something new. We should all strive to leave any situation, person, or place better than we meet it. Give the next person a better experience.

Thank you for this.

First can I just say I love the name "Random musings of an immortal!!!" It's such a great conversation starter and it makes me wonder what an immortal would riff about.

Thank you for reading Veekee

I always go about with this same consciousness especially when it comes to people. I prefer to leave kind words rather than make them feel insufficient as others have, and it goes a long way for them. Thank you for sharing!

Kind words are such a gift. It definitely goes a long way. Kindness in general definitely goes a long way.
