Went to the grocery store today. The past couple of weeks I have been there I have noticed grocery bags there already filled and stapled shut with tags on them stating "Help Fight World Hunger."  Today I inquired how that worked and once it was explained to me I purchased a bag to help fight world hunger.  Funy how we purchase things we really could live without (ice cream, cookies, chips etc.) and yet this was such a simple thing to do for someone who truly experiences a physical hunger.

Followed today's suggested good deed and cleaned out three closets in my house so far.  Got together lots of clothes and household goods to donate to charities.  Hopefully, some of these nice things will help make other people happy.

CHARITY -- Now there's a word you don't hear much these days.  I was driving on a back road today when up ahead was a woman walking her dog.  There was no extra room on the side of the road for the woman -- a car was approaching from the other direction so I stopped to allow her room to continue her walk with her dog without having to go into the tall grass and weeds on the side of the road.  A very simple act -- she smiled and waved as a "thank you" and I did same in return.  Such a small, mundane thing to do -- but a million of these small, mundane thing

Went up to my mom's yesterday to help her pack her stuff to go on a beach vacation for the coming week.  Hopefully, she will relax this coming week and forget about all of her physical limitations she has had to deal with in the recent months.

Had two gentlemen at our house removing piles of lumber from our back yard from dismantling a pool.  It was a really hot, humid day and they were really looking parched so I offered them a glass of nice cool water.  They were so thankful.  Such a simple thing -- yet so appreciated.
