The Little Things

I made my co-worker feel bad or, I should say, she made herself feel bad. She learned I send my husband's magazines to the troops and she said, "You read to the blind and send stuff to the troops?!"

I don't do things for the recognition. It's just ... if you can do something for someone else, why wouldn't you? Like, when I walked out of the post office and saw a woman holding a toddler and trying to balance two large boxes with one hand, why wouldn't I carry the boxes in to the post office for her?

It's kind of interesting to learn how others see you. Like the time I saw a guy at my high school reunion. He said to me, "Even though our paths didn't cross at all in high school, I always considered you a friend." Wow. That was really nice. I had no idea someone would think that.

It's amazing how you touch people's lives and don't have a clue. I'm glad I can make a difference in some small way.
