Something Nice Everyday

So, helping people ot doesn't always mean donating money, or making things to give to people, or buying things in which proceeds go to a good cause. Yes, those things are always fantastic to do, especially for the people who your work benefits. However, it could also mean something a little bit more close to home.

If there's someone in your world who helps you a lot, such as the woman who takes care of my grandma every sngle day, it's nice for them to know that you appreciate what they do for you, aside from their paycheck. A simple thank you card or gift can brighten their day, and show them that there is someone who really cares for them. It doesn't even have to cost any money. A nice homemade card can really show people that you care.

Or, holding the door open for a persn that you may not even know is something good to do. At my school, there are codes on the doors, and so you have to enter them to get into each building. Since most classes involve going to different buildings, this can get quite tedious and annoying after a while, especially when you just miss the door closing. Whenever someone waits to keep a door open for me, it always brightens my day to know that there's someone who is considerate enough to do that. Waiting around in the door is not fun, especially in the cold or whatnot, so it's nice to know that someone would do that just to make your day a little bit easier.

So, think about your day, and something that you can do to brighten someone's day every single day.
