When I Do Good I Feel Good

Some of my friends asked why I haven’t updated my blog about my drought-tolerant garden lately.

The project is mostly done but it’s on hold because of money. I should be able to update in March, for I’m pretty sure by then it’ll finally be done.

I feel like another statistic of this financial crisis.

And it’s so easy to get caught up in all the negativity and fear. After all, three people that I’ve known have put guns to their heads and pulled the trigger in the past few months. Most of my friends have lost great amounts of money and equity.

It’s a trying time for sure.

I have recently made a pact with myself that I will have a positive thought every day and try to do nice things for people and maybe even write a post about it.
Here are some things I did today.

I saved a newt.

I ran with my dog.

I brought my son lunch and he smiled at me—lifting the smeared chocolate in the corner of his mouth from the cookie I had snuck into his paper bag.

I called my husband and thanked him for making breakfast.

I opened a door for a lady with her stroller–twice.

I hugged both my boys until they told me to stop.

Here’s the thought for my day:

Try to be the change you want to see in the world.

Stumble It!
