At the hospital I have been attending for chemotherapy they have the Mustard Tree centre which is run by Macmillan cancer support nurses and volunteers.
You can go for a coffee or a chat. They also have fully trained therapists who give their time free. There are four therapists, possibly more.
Yesterday I went for my last session of 6 weeks of Reiki and had a lovely surprise when I got there. Another therapist has just started and gives one day a week. She belongs to "The Friends of Pentillie" and they regularly give donations to a charity of their choice. She suggested the Mustard Tree and each therapist can nominate a client of theirs for a gift from them. My therapist nominated me!
I had taken a small gift for my therapist as a thank you. They are not allowed to take money but I always make a good donation to the centre after every treatment. She then said she had a gift for me too as she had enjoyed our chats so much. What I think she meant is that I am supposed to be relaxing but keep talking until she tells me I need to close my eyes and relax.
This is what I got. The wrapped present in the front right is a mug with owls on.
There are different biscuits, fudge, chutney, chocolates, mince pies and tea.

That's a lovely gift, Jackie! Even better was the 6 weeks of Reiki, which I hoped helped. I've had it done, and other energy healing, and while I can't explain how it all works, I just know from experience that it does!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope you are able to enjoy those goodies! π π
How delightful and thoughtful, enjoy those goodies!

ReplyDeleteThe kindness of the therapists and volunteers at the Mustard Tree is so heartwarming. How sweet of your therapist to nominate you, and the gift sounds amazing—especially the owl mug! Wishing you strength and lots of positivity! π
ReplyDeleteWonderful that your therapist is so considerate and caring. They must see so much and be sometimes over whelmed with work and worry for their patients. Enjoy the gift. XX
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got such a lovely gift!
