Goodness and Light.......

Hurt. Hurting? Could be anyone. You. Me. Him. Her. Them. Never know. Some verbalize it, some keep it within. Some "you know", many times - not.
(Unfortunately, know some folks struggling at present. Too many. BEEN THERE. God Bless Google, hopefully some suggestions below to lighten the sting.)

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

A few small goals, and slowly build from there. A short walk around the block. A phone call to a loved one.
One day at a time, reward self for an accomplishment. Small steps - add up. Energy is drained, but effort put into recovery yields much more in return.

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Trusted friends, family. It's cool to ask for help. Be around others, in spite of the want retreat into shell. Allow yourself to be less than perfect. "Rub up agin" (hang out with) positive people. Take care of your self.
8 hrs sleep. Expose, enjoy the sun. Gotta pet? Hug it. Get out. Go, do. Music, art, write, the ballpark, the mountains, a lake, a stream, the ocean.

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold

Move baby move. Take the stairs insteada the elevator. Park your car in the farthest spot. On the phone? Walk and talk. A ten minute walk can improve a mood for two hours.

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Find, allow, humor back in. Eat, ie, don't skip meals. Boost your vitamin B level (citrus fruit, leafy greens, beans, chicken, eggs.).. Foods that help moods: Bananas, brown rice, spinach.

The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light

Yes, He (if this is one's ilk) can help too. Know: you, I, - loved, so let's love back. Love, Victurd.
