I did something nice for someone else yesterday, (a stranger) and that made me feel good:
Opened the door just as the newspaper delivery man was bringing the weekend paper (he was late and apologised for that.)I noticed he had no gloves (it is freezing here, about -10 that morning)and asked him if he had any, he said in broken German that no, he had not bought any yet, so i rummaged through my winter things box and gave him my second pair. (I think he was from India or SriLanka because of the way he shook his head when saying thank you)

In any case, i was glad i had that second pair there. I often buy a second pair of gloves at a bazaar, since i tend to lose or misplace mine at least once a season.

37. Catching upon on assignments for a separate commitment. Transport chicken soup and soda. Use up stuff from fridge. Wash dishes.

Little acts of kindness can save a person's life.

ntch: I am so impressed by your work! But please also remember to make positive actions to yourself, and take care of yourself! You are important, do not ever forget that. I am perhaps wrong, and if so, please excuse me, but I feel that you are the kind of person who takes care of everyone else before taking care of yourself. It is a beautiful thing, but if you do not take care of yourself you will not have the energy to take care of others. Again, please excuse me if I misunderstand anything.

Regarding doing good for others:
My Mom said something along the lines of this to my sis and me a few hours before she passed:
(It was bits and pieces of incoherent conversations-but this came through loud and clear)
" you shouldn't do good things for other people because you SHOULD,
you do them because you CAN!"

39. Tossed left overs and stay overs instead of trying to not waste ... and for moi this was a positive act today. Take out trash. Wash dishes. Eat out. Make plans for costco and visiting friends with children. Socializing. Rest... Go see HP, take a class, go for eye appt ... purchase red vinegar and chili garlic mix ... give away some cheese to a single friend and another one with 5 in the family and kept a bag for me that should be just the right amount esp since i've been snacking on it a while now (I just had too much from that big costco block and want someone to enjoy it, don't want to hold on to it and feel pressured to eat it up or cook it up and then feel like a failure when i don't, and in this case i won't). Finished assignments early. Visited friend I haven't seen in a while :) and made arrangements to visit the family. Relax.

I celebrated my clean desk today by making 15 class handouts cleverly disguised as valentine's day cards. Had fun with scrap paper, scissors, a rubber stamp and a glue stick. Great having the space to spread out!

Gave my fellow uni group members a big kick up the butt, assisted by the lecturer. We are doing a group project and I was fed up of them treating me like their mum. I already have 2 lazy children who expect me to do all the work, thank you, and I would appreciate a reply to my emails. Got some cooperation today :)

Arranged for 2 CDs to be deposited directly into my square dance club's checking account before they came due! (We'll use the money to pay for putting on the state festival in June). I also ordered a birthday e-card for my great-niece who will be 11 on March 4. Sheis in love with the Beatles, and I was able to find one with their Happy Birthday song. It feels really good to have these things done early.
