I can't help myself today--just one more post. Really it is an addition to the last post.
Another thing that I noticed. When I give something to someone else I am rewarded. Especially when it is a donation. You have to give to get.
After I got done feeling sorry for myself today, I decided to give something. I donated two articles to a web site. The email response I received was worth more than the money I could have made. I could tell that I really made some one happy. That was enough. Once again I am reminded that small gestures matter. I do feel much better when I help some one else. So I will end my grumpy spell by sharing this wonderful quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself." |
