Never get tired of doing little things for others;
Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of their hearts
I spent the entire day yesterday putting together a
photo blog book on my computer of my trip to New York, it’ll cost me about
£25-30 to have printed but if you think about it getting photos printed and
buying a nice album would cost about the same.

It took up my total attention and the day flew by, it
also distracted me from any thoughts of eating/drinking which was a bonus. It reminded me too of how much I enjoy doing
creative things so I will make an effort to do something more often.
The snow hopefully is on its way, I know it looks
pretty when it’s falling and the kids love to play in it, but it can be so
dangerous and cause accidents and also don’t forget all those elderly people
out there living alone, if you know one please go and check on them. It’s way to easy to have the “I’m alright
Jack” mentality, it’s much nicer to have a “what can I do to help” mentality!
Do you ever do something just to be nice, not for
rewards or thanks but just a random act of kindness because. Here’s one I read this morning that I
thought was lovely;
"I go to one of those "everything's a
dollar" stores and purchase several umbrellas to keep in my car. When I am
driving somewhere in the rain and see someone stranded without any shelter I
pull up by the roadside and hand them an umbrella. It brings out a smile every
time!" – debbiewright
How nice is that!
I remember the good old days when you’d have been able to pick the
person up and give them a lift, unfortunately now that’s not really a safe
option, isn’t it a shame.
This week, why don’t you look for your way to make a
difference, even if it’s opening a door for someone, which will make their day? You should never get tired of doing little
things for others; Sometimes those little things occupy the biggest part of
their hearts.
When your reading this, did you think I haven’t got
time for a hobby, or I don’t have time to be being nice to other people, I’m
busy and have a home of my own to run?
If you do you need to work on your NOT TO DO list!
I was asked this weekend “Do you
ever sit down my lovely. Ha ha. Bx” I often here people say, “how
do you do it all?”, “where do you find the time?” The answer – I don’t! I can’t remember the last time I had a good
clean up in my house, it looks ok so it doesn’t need dusting every day/week.
Here’s how to make some time on your calender, draw a
line down the centre of a piece of paper, on one side of it write “to do” and
then on the other side write “not to do”.
People really have crazy long to do lists don’t they?
Now take a good look at your ‘to do’ list and take
anything on it that someone else could do for you and nove it to your ‘not to
do’ list. For example your laundry or
the washing up – is there someone else in your house could do it? Food shopping – would ordering online speed
it up? Cleaning? Forget about it – it’ll still be there
tomorrow and the day after, if it’s bothering the other members of your family,
tell them to feel free to have a go themselves!
So now you’ve cleared a bit of time on your calendar,
find something to do with it that’ll make your heart sing, what is that? If you’re not sure what that is, start by
doing anything that you find a tiny bit fun/interesting - not eating or
drinking! What are you good at? What
excites you? What do you read
about? What have you secretly dreamed of? Still not sure, then experiment, start small,
and try anything that makes you smile when someone mentions it.
You may not have any free time till next weekend, but
at least you’ve got a week to think about it.
