it's nice to be needed.

A few months ago.My friend found a crowd of onlooks had gathered,the he just went and investigate.He saw a Women lying on the street,for being hurt in thn traffic.H called a driver to stop right away and sent her to the hospital.

You have done a noble deed for helping this old lady. When you are serving others, life is no longer meaningless. Mother Teresa warned, "Unless life is lived for others, it is not worthwhile. A self-centered life is totally empty." I might not have done much in public service to help others but the little things that I do like donating to worthy causes is something worth a write here. I try to make myself available to those who seek my help and am always open to help those in desperate situations.

not yet, but i've only been outta bed less than an hour....

Hello antique-lady, I am glad to know that you have done something nice and helpful to the old lady who is your neighbor. It is so nice and kind of you to have done so. I love to offer help to people around me as well. I think that it makes me feel more fulfilled if I can be of some help to others. Keep it up, friend. Enjoy your life.

That is really nice of you to do Jo! Wow! It goes to show how great a person you are! I'd have done the same thing had it happened to me. In fact, there was this older lady who needed someone to be her driver when I could so I did it for a little while til she got upset with me because I smoke. She did pay for the gas and sometimes even for lunch but to tell me to not smoke in my own car even with the window partially down, wasn't going to happen. She knew I was a smoker before she asked for help she should've accepted it but she wouldn't and kept hounding me about it which eventually got on my damned nerves and I told her so but in a nice and non confrontational way and that's when she went off on me. Hasta la vista baby! (something like that) She tried to treat me like her personal servant and I wouldn't have it either. I do things on my own terms and only on my own terms and she couldn't accept that. I didn't want her gas money or lunch but she insisted so I didn't have a choice but for her to treat me like she did was plain wrong. Anyway, that's one story which I have many of them in which I've helped others and most have appreciated it. I'm a firm believer of what goes around comes around although I'm not one to look for a pat on the back when I do a good deed. NOT saying you are either!! Please don't take me wrong! It's just who and what I am, is all..... HUGS!!

That was a great deed that you did but I am not surprised as that sounds like something that you would do.It is also good that other were willing to do likewise to help your neighbour and that is how communities should operate.For me I havent done anything specific but I alwyas try to help the occasional beggar and lately I did help a lady who was asking me for money .

Well, I wish you were living near me in NYC because five years ago, I got ALS/MND/Lou Gehrig's Disease and I am now in a wheelchair. I have aides but they only do certain things and not other things. I live in a building with 99 apts, and only one neighbor ever asked me if I need anything, but now she has moved away. And I have 2 friends in the neighborhood who have almost no time to help out. So I have to hire and pay one of my former students [I was a teacher before I had to stop work and go on disability]. I think most people nowadays are so into themselves that they don't think of other people, and that is so sad! You sound like a wonderful person.

yes it is but if it is every day and all the time then it gets to be a bit montonous. i dont mind helping but if my family gets ignored because of it, then its not so good.

for today, i haven't done any good deeds cause i just stayed home all day, wash my clothes and done my research. last week i think was my biggest accomplishment/deed that i had done for someone. know what it is? i had able to offer a job opportunity to a relative to work abroad without even worrying of finding a nice employer/company. the job was intended for me but i declined it then i recommend my aunt instead. i am still attending college that is why i declined the offer. if only the offer came early before i had enrolled then i would probably grab the offer. now my aunt is just waiting for her visa and she'll soon be working in Scotland. wish her luck.

I am the same as you older people have rung me in the past and asked for help,I have had such a lot of help from the the good people around here and it is my pleasure to pay something back to the community.We are very lucky around here a real community feel.

erm sometimes if someone too depend on you will make u feel troublesome but the one u met is nice and when u helped her u will really feel something satisfied i like to help people also but limit to the people that worth me to help them haha keep it on!!

Being needed is a great feeling. I compare it to a welcome. We do thanks for people and when we do it we usually receive a "thank you" for the assistance. But when an individual replies with a "Your Welcome" you truly feel a accomplishment. I am Asian, we poor tea for people before we poor ourselves. When the person is being serves they reply with a thank you; sometimes with a verbal way or a body language or signal way. But it never comes with a your welcome. You welcomes may not be necessary but when said towards your assistances or actions it does feel just as good as a needed feeling.

I also like the feeling of being needed. You know, when someone need you, you will feel that you are important, you could do others a favor and help them get over from the difficulties. For me, when someone ask me the road on the street, I am always willing to help and take them to the place they want to go. And when some people need me to help them with something, no matter big or small, I would like to give them a hand. That really makes me very happy.

So nice of you. First of all let me appreciate for the good deed. Nowadays who will have time to think or care others. God has given you a good heart. One day you will be rewarded for this. As you helped someone now, when you are in need you will also get help automatically. Because anyone may or may not, but god is watching your deeds and will bless you.

That is great that the pharmacist opened the store so she could get her meds. I am not too certain that would happen in our town. Only one of the 4 pharmacies in our town is independently owned.

I do good deeds ever so often. My husband and I hardly have the time to do it anymore with working so much, seven days a week. I have done it before though and still do it occasionally.

Not today.....but I did take flowers to the gal that runs one of the scrapbooking places in town for her anniversary.....she is such a sweetie and bends over backwards to help everyone.....so I heard it was the first anniversary of her shop...brought her flowers and in return....I got a big hug!

I haven't so far today. I have been at work from very early and have just finished work with the accountant and decided to Mylot for a while before going home. You did a wonderful; thing today for her. i may have the opportunity to do a good turn later today. It is so hot and I have to walk the place and see that all is well.Have a wonderful day.

Not yet jo...I did just take back a couple of bunnies to my friends house that we have been bunnysitting for a week. She wanted to go visit her mother out of state and asked if we would keep them. I do like doing nice things for people. It makes me feel good. I live in a medium sized town and I don't know everyone here but I do agree that there are a lot of perks to small town living.

wow thats great my lady hmmm before I used to think that way too I mean that was my goal everyday at least help somebody each day or even make them smile.... but looks to me everything seems to be very hectic well I have helped my sister everyday and some of my friends on their problems but it would be nice if I could at least help different person each day .... what you did my lady would surely be remembered... got to do that goal again ....
