Making Someone’s Life A Little Bit Better
It is dang easy to make someone’s life a little bit better.
(And that is SO needed at the moment.)
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I uncovered that fact recently.
We were crossing a parking lot.
It was dark.
It was cold.
It was sleeting.
A man was crossing the parking lot in the other direction, walking toward us.
He was carrying 3 filled reusable grocery bags in each hand and was likely walking to his home.
After he passed us, we heard a loud noise, a howl and some cussing.
We turned around.
One of the reusable bags the man had clearly just purchased had blown out its bottom.
There were cans EVERYWHERE.
In puddles. In the snow. In the muck.
The man was cussing and kicking the slush and was clearly dangling on the edge of darkness.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I approached him.
We smiled gently, held out our reusable bags and offered them to him.
Friends, I thought the man was going to burst into tears.
He was SO touched by the offer.
He had other reusable bags and didn’t take ours.
But he was no longer alone, you know?
Someone, TWO someones, cared about him and his VERY BAD DAY.
When we left him, he almost looked…happy.
He was definitely more stable.
And all it took was an offer and a smile and some understanding.
THAT is how easy it is to make someone’s world a little bit better.
You can do the same – by smiling at that stressed out mom standing on the sidewalk, arguing with her child or by telling the cashier at the grocery store they’re doing a great job or by doing some other tiny-for-you thing that will likely be A BIG DEAL for the other person.
(smiles)
It is THAT easy.

Caring For Our Soil
Everything comes from something else. The nutrients in our food, for example, come from the nutrients in our soil. This is why soil integrity is so fraggin’ important.
In the past, I did a sh*t job at caring for the soil around our home. I would put (excessive) weeds and prune the rose bushes and send all that to the city for composting. Which was a great thing to do. Except I never gathered that compost from the city. I didn’t sprinkle it on the ground, returning those nutrients to the soil.
Which meant my soil was depleted of all that good stuff.
I’m trying to restore the balance now. I am creating our own compost and I’m returning those nutrients back to the soil.
We live and we learn and we do better. (smiles)
