Doing Good Is My Maxim
Estimated reading time: 1 minute, 8 seconds
Jan, friends, and coworkers often compared me to Mr. Rogers.
The comparison was generally favorable but sometimes critical.
I am generally low-key and continuously seek ways of helping my family, friends, and neighbors.
On my walks, I always convey to walkers and runners a simple message; “Have a good day.”
Today when I walked in front of the Breadsmith, they were loading baked goods for delivery. I offered to help, and they said they were OK. But then they commented that I was “so sweet” to offer to help.
When new neighbors moved in, I welcomed them and helped carry their possessions into the building.
As @POWEROFPOSITIVITY wrote,
Do good for others. It will come back to you in unexpected ways.
I do not expect any direct benefits from doing good and helping others. I am satisfied if it allows each person to have a better day and share with others.
