What Did You Do For Someone Else Today?

I helped someone in the street who needed it.

I put away the groceries my husband brought home.

A dear neighbor knocked on my door and asked if I had some quarters for laundry, so I gave them. (My neighbor of course gave me the same amount back in dollars.) The point was that I didn't have to answer my door, but I did! :)

My neighbor came over to show me a Valentine card that she had found in her mailbox with a box of chocolate. The card was not signed. I allowed her to express her feelings about it. After she had compared this card's handwriting to something else, she realized that it had come from his man who was a friend of theirs before her husband died.

What got me, is that this guy is married. She even commented that he used the pronoun of "I", not we. This card and what he said on it, would have crossed my boundaries, and that is what I had to realize. She was okay with this guy giving her a romantic card which mentions love, etc. on it. She even sent him a text over it.

She needed to vent over over stuff and I realized that I will need to watch my boundaries with her in the future.

I received some alcoholics from a good friend...my mother asked me to receive that stuff for my sister's boyfriend - and my friend lives close to a professional and well-known distillery. ...so, I organized the mother's Easter present for my sister's boyfriend.

The person that wanted me to be her accountability partner called and she began to tell me what was going on with her.

It seems that she is overeating because of her husband's verbal comments to her. The thing about it is that she is at a normal weight. I think she realizes now that she is eating because she can no longer hide the fact that she is not happy in her marriage.

I listened and I believe she felt heard, as she doesn't feel heard in her marriage.

I am going to lunch with two of my siblings. I'm doing it for me and for them. One sister backed out. Which I knew she would.

I donated my dollar for the 30 day challenge, plus more for someone else.

I helped my trainee to correct some minor mistakes. ...I calmed down my friend when she was nervous before an important appointment.

I added a little bit extra to a tip that my sister and I split because she didn't have the money.
