I think I'll write about her here someday. And I'm thinking she was, before the opportunity to make a big difference, the type of person who made little gestures as well.Carolyn R.

If you have any sort of problem today in your life that is causing you stress, the number one thing I would advise you to do is to help another human in some small way, pick up the phone and call, visit a sick friend, hold the door for someone or simply ask "How may I serve?". Your problems won't suddenly vanish but you'll be pleasantly surprised at how small your problems suddenly appear from the perspective of giving.<BR/><BR/>If we give in little matters, we will most likely give and serve in the bigger matters.<BR/>If ever you get the chance, read the inspiring story of the heroine Irena Sendler. It's such as her that the world survives and is enriched.Edward Yablonskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10013345997672210570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-62651853980609369112009-03-19T00:44:00.000-04:002009-03-19T00:44:00.000-04:00Breeze, so glad you raised the subject.

How quickly I learned that when I pass someone in the street and smile it instantly improves my day also.<BR/>I believe that we are here to live a life of service. You are so right in acknowledging that it does not have to be the 'biggies'<BR/>Seems to me that you are serving by sharing your writing.<BR/>So glad that I happened upon it..Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334065619837967170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-37553350508591961522009-03-18T22:06:00.000-04:002009-03-18T22:06:00.000-04:00how can i serve ?beautiful becasue we all can, one...how can i serve ?<BR/>beautiful becasue we all can, one way or another xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15047696858755347818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-28521140222900056412009-03-18T22:03:00.000-04:002009-03-18T22:03:00.000-04:00~Beautiful~ post and something i believe implicitl...~Beautiful~ post and something i believe implicitly in... and i love the little picture it left in my mind... these little *moments* should be shared and are the beautiful fodder that makes up BloggyWorld xnollyposhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205974328143335552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2076932166540355726.post-14299371524468073172009-03-18T12:06:00.000-04:002009-03-18T12:06:00.000-04:00I love this.

I truly believe that it is the little things that make the biggest impact on people - helping someone pick up pop cans on the street, offering to pay for someones bus ride, SMILING at people, acknowledging homeless people...little things that have HUGE impact.<BR/>Thoughtful post Breeze.
