What Did You Do For Someone Else Today?

I waited in the waiting room for almost two hours while my husband had his procedure done. I drove him home and I took my son shopping(something he wanted to do). I'm exhausted but I am glad I did it.

I corrected someone kindly, remembering they just probably hate their job, their attitude isn't personal, and I don't need to rain hell on them further as repaying in kind.

Made some pancakes for my best friend.

Carried heavy stuff for our secretary.

I bought a hot coffee for a bell ringer for Salvation Army. The religious organization assisted me once, 40 years ago with large boxes of food. I never forgot their kindness and every year buy one or several (depending on funds) bell ringers a warm beverage as they try to collect for the needy.

My church houses a 90 day overnight winter shelter. A community wide, interfaith collaboration, it's pretty cool. We signed up to drop off enough snacks for each of the 45 residents to have when they check out in the morning.

Kept me out of trouble today.

Helped my friend to clean the flat.

Supported my friend's e-shop. Cough, propagation is support. Still kind of angry I can't support her otherwise but c'est la vie.

Dragged my husband to the Verizon store to get him a new iphone. He needed a bigger screen. He kept putting it off until I figured that it would cost us the same every month to get him a new one. He is very happy with his new toy.

Cooked lunch for Cleo and her guests. The guests were more than an hour early...and told us very late that they will be early - so I was a bit in a hurry. :eek:

I wrote a letter to a couple of prisoners and told them about my life, what happened in the last few days. I got their names off of a website that is for prison penpals. I just figured it would be a nice thing to do, to cheer them up a bit. My neighbors are telling me that I need to be careful, and I will be, but I guess this is an act of kindness, which we are supposed to do to cheer ourselves up.

Called some people whom I have to work with from work...and told them "Merry Christmas".

I spent about 10 minutes writing down some information for a lovely woman with Alzheimer. I had just recently done some research about dopamine uptake using the net, Kale and Swiss Chard studies for nutritionally assisting those with Alzheimer and strengthening pathways. Also I offered a few fun tips and wrote the name of the medical center with address for her to consider for some review and/or therapy.

She had tears in her eyes and grabbed my hand afterwards offering from one person to another," I love you." As I hopped on my waiting bus...I sincerely spoke back,"I love you too!"

Somehow to me, that is what Christmas is all about...
