Just watched a great movie called, Pay it Back. It was about a class project where the kids were supposed to do 3 nice things for someone else, in return those 3 people had to do something nice for 3 people as well. What a great concept! I was checking a website of an author I enjoy and he was giving away a free copy of his new book , all you had to do was write on his blog one nice thing you have done this week. So, I am going to copy cat...anyone out there who reads my blog...do something nice for someone this week and post a comment letting me know how it went.
We have a couple in our neighborhood he is kind of quiet and seems shy, she is really mean. She has even threatened to kill our dogs. Well I noticed that their yard is looking pretty bad. A neighbor called and informed me that he has cancer and is too sick to work on his yard. About 20 people showed up and spent about 2 hours weeding, mowing and talking to this lady. She actually really is a nice person, just going through a bad time. Her and her husband could not believe that so many people would show up and do this for complete strangers without expecting anything in return. It is called service.
