Little  Things  We  Can  Do  For  Others......

We can all use a helping hand once in a while. We all have bad days. 
All it takes sometimes is a smile from a kind hearted soul that walks 
past us on the street, the nod of a head to let us know that somebody 
can see us and acknowledges us.  In that light, this section is being developed.  

Little Things We Can Do For Others....nothing big, nothing major, 
nothing expensive...things that don't take much time or energy, 
but things that can make the difference to someone's life, 
that could mean the difference between them having a 
bad day or a great day!

Please write to me with your
"Little Things" so we can all share and 
help to make someone else's life a wee bit better today :)

There is a lady in Mississauga, Ontario, who always, when she goes thru a McD drive-through on the way to work in the morning, also pays for the order of the car behind her? She said it's never all that much, usually a coffee and a muffin or something, and people apparently react so much...even the drive-through staff do....she said she likes to see all the happy faces.

For my ex-coworkers, with whom I have little contact, but who I know work like dogs this time of year, I bought a little crate of Clementines, gussied it up a little, and dropped a bunch of gold-chocolate coins (8 for a buck at the dollar store) on top, with a card.

A few years ago, on a very hot/humid summer day, I was picking up some cleaning at my local Dry Cleaners. The poor women that were working were SO hot. They were sweating and looked ready to collapse. On my way home, I stopped at my grocery store, bought a container of ice cream and some plastic spoons, then drove back to the Dry Cleaners and gave the ladies their cool treat.  They loved it!

When I was living in a Mobile Home Park, there was an elderly woman (close to
90 years old),  who lived about 3 or 4 doors down from me.  I had been so
sick with FM/CFIDS, I couldn't get out of bed most of the time and I became very
depressed.

This incredibly lively and intelligent lady came to my door one morning and
when I answered it, she greeted me with a bouquet of Double Delight Roses (now
my favorite) that she had picked from her garden.

She could barely walk herself, but she took the time to cut them and walk
down the street and up the stairs to my door to deliver them.  She did this
several times over the course of 4 years and I was always grateful, but too sick to
return the favor.

When I learned that she had passed away, I was so sad and felt guilty for
never reciprocating her kind gestures.  Then one day her daughter came to visit
me and we talked about her mom for a long time and I told her I wished I could
have done something nice for her as well.

"But you did." she said "It was one of the best parts of her day!  She loved
the fact that you always smiled and hugged her and talked with her when she
came over.  She knew how sick you were, but she always told me she loved seeing
your face light up when you saw the roses.  She also enjoyed walking past your
house and seeing them displayed so that anyone passing by could see them from
your window.  So you made her happy as well because you cherished the gift. 
It was an act of love on both sides."
