Do Small Things 4 months ago

I try to do small things for people all the time. Hold a door open. Smile. Pick up a toy/bottle/binky for someone at a store. Let that car that’s been trying to merge onto the road for ten minutes get on in front of you! Never do it for the credit, for the praise. That, to me, cancels out the good deed you’ve just done. Sometimes things backfire – like when that car then does twenty-five in a forty mph zone – but you could have just made some one’s day.



Be Friendlier 5 months ago

The world is a cruel place but if everyone would be a little bit friendlier, what a difference we could make! If I boiled water for tea or oatmeal and I have some left over, if another resident comes into the kitchen, I let them know that there is hot water there in case they want to use it. It may seem silly, but not having to wait around for the microwave to heat up your cup of water can make all the difference some days.
