Helping others

To be honest, if my time were very short on this Earth, I wouldn't be focusing on much more than the things I listed already - making sure my family is safe and they know I love them.


But.....I have more than 24 hours to live (hopefully), so my actions are different.


I've started asking "How can I make someone else's day better?"


Two things popped into my head, actually.


There are two things I love to do.  Really, really love to do.  I love Twitter.  And I love to send cards.


So today  I sent cards to both parents - really sweet, mushy ones and I can't wait until they get them.  I'll let you know what the reaction is.  :D


And then there's Twitter.  I'm spending some time today trying to brighten the days of the people I follow and who follow me.  (If you're not on Twitter, you won't "get" that at all, but trust me - it's a good thing.)


I'm also going to send cards to others.  I'm going to try and send at least one a day, and hope I can brighten someone's day by doing it.


Take some time today to make someone's day better - no matter how small the gesture, it will be appreciated.  Trust me.
