Four different friends came to me today needing support / advice / kindness / a listening ear, and I helped them feel validated and calmer and they thanked me and I feel:
a) really awesome about being able to assist others today, and
b) honored that they trusted me with their personal dilemmas, and
c) pleased with myself that I didn't feel drained by it because I had the emotional bandwidth to be useful to my friends and lift them up.
Also, I joined a new thing doing a thing I love but hadn't done in YEARS and that also makes me feel better than a million dollars. Plus more than one person complimented me about my abilities in that thing. That felt great.
