I don’t know if it’s just the way I was raised or just the good feeling I have for those around me. But it just feels right to give back or give forward everyday.
Today Winnipeg got hit with a shitload of snow, not a metric shitload or even an imperial shitload but a good dump none the less. Around a half meter or so, with drifting and the like. Not anything Winnipeg has never seen before but a good dump.
Dar and I live on a pretty quiet block, a river to the back of us and an industrial park that tends to explode from time to time. So we tend to know our neighbors. If not by name but at least by sight.
I know that there are some down our block that are too old to shovel heavy snow, so before I did our lot out I went and did theirs. Not for cash, or even for recognition. Hell I don’t even know if half of them are even home. But I did it because it was a nice thing to do.
Over the Christmas holidays, I think it’s just nice to help when you can. I deliver hampers, shovel snow and try to be a good person.
Don’t look to me and ask Bob how can I be like you. Well you can’t be like me, but the point of the matter is to be the best you that you can be. Even if you are lacking in funds to help the smallest gesture can mean the world to another.
Just think, if I were in that situation, how could someone help me. And do that, or something close to it.
It Never hurts to help.
Happy Christmas and a very Merry New Year to one and all.
