Give Others A Chance

By on October 3, 2026

We have a tradition in our neighborhood.

If we have a large item for garbage pick up and it might, just might be, of use to someone else (like the scrap metal collectors), we put it out at the curb the day before pick up, often with a sign stating why it is being trashed.

And 8 out of 10 times, someone else CAN use it.

If it doesn’t hurt you in any way, give others a chance. Leave that already-read romance novel in the Little Free Library. Put out that potted plant you no longer want on the curb with a sign saying ‘Free to a good home.’ Let the traveler rushing to make their connecting flight exit the plane before you.

Give them a chance. Put that good energy out into the world.
