My hand

As I hold my phone
My hand trembles a little
I know the reason
I don’t necessarily like the reason
Most people don’t notice it
It doesn’t happen all the time
Like when I write
Or hold other things
Maybe this is a message
That I’m on my phone too much
But this trembling is caused by the medication I take
Medication that helps me stay healthy, happy and productive
Is this a big price to pay?
Perhaps not
But it does bother me sometimes
After all, I have feelings too
I’m not a machine
My goal though is to be grateful always

Connection

You need to extend a hand
Before someone takes your hand
There is risk involved
Courage is required
But almost always
If the intention is right
People are waiting for an extended hand
The barriers are mostly in our own minds
We create them and give them shape
Our insecurities get in the way
Most often, kindness begets kindness
A smile is returned with a smile
And beautiful connections are made
Because someone took the first step
And reached out
