What little thing have you done today to improve the lives of those around you?

A colleague of mine is off ill in the moment, but a presentation is due on Monday. Her manager called her and said she has to complete it - ill or not. She called me in a right panc to send her some files through, but I told her I'd sort it out and go back to bed. I worked till 8pm tonight as I had to get my presentation finished as well, but it felt good to help her out. I believe that good things you do, come back to you in some way or form. And I could do with some good things in the moment. So maybe I was selfish after all in helping her...

Well, I went to a bank to open an account that transacts with paypal and on my way out I noticed a certain kind of pie that my wife enjoy eating. I know she hasn't seen one for a long time so I bought one to surprise her. And as expected she jumped with joy and devoured everything. LOL enjoy

This is great. I do similar things here in Trinidad. We have a big problem with vagrants and other poor people and its a good thing to give out a dollar or two. Then, in my office there are so many young people just out of school or new in this kind of work you can help with advice or a few pointers. Helping is good - yes.

Well my day just started and I will do the usual thing which is greet and smile to everyone I see. It brightens my day also if I get the same response from them.

I cleaned the house today and wash some dishes. It's not that big but at least I helped

your title of this discussion drew my attention.as a girl,i think we have the responsibilities to improve the life quality of our family.so the house work i do,the meals i make are all meaningful.

I must say, you are a great person! You understand the importance of the small things that don't mean much, but bring a lot of happiness and love when taken into consideration. Even I try to grab such little things. I help my elders by offering my services whenever they need to get something from the market. I notice the broad smile when I try to help the ladies at home with the cooking work (although I am bad at it, just an offer pleases the ladies). I even love to take my little nephew out on a cycle ride which he loves a lot and doesn't get very often as his parents are not able to take out too much time for this activity. The smile and the giggles of the child when on the ride is my reward!

I think as we grow older, it is very difficult to do more things to improve those around you. We have been civic and nice to each other. We have shown consideration; pat each other on their back for doing good deeds and also played team when the occasion calls for it. Indeed, we have not shirked our responsibilities and obligations to all our loved ones.I think the current situation is about optimal.

I read this and my first reaction was 'no, I haven't!' But thinking about it, I baked white chocolate raspberry scones for my husband this afternoon so he could have them after work. Thats nice, isn't it?! Actually I have been thinking about this today. I have been feeling a bit useless because of being unemployed, but I was trying to think of positive things I can do from home. I decided that tomorrow I am going to write to my birth mother (I am adopted but found my birth mother, but we haven't been in touch for a while) and also to a friend who just moved away, and is dealing with settling her 6 children into the new town - I figure she may need encouragement! Now, if my husband would like to make up praise cards for me, that would be nice...lol

Well, not too much but today morning I was waiting for the bus and there was a woman carrying a lot of stuffs.. so I thought it might be hard to get in the bus carrying all those stuffs so I told her I could help her with something :) if I was on the same situation I would like someone to help me.. it wasn't a big favor but she said thanks to me and that made me feel good.. I started a good day making someone else's life a little bit easier =)

Everyday I always find something new and unique ways for me to improve my life for me not to get bored and be more productive. I always looking to meet new friends and discover new.
