Just doing good.

So as you may know, I started this blog for one of my classes. That class ended this week and we had one final assignment: do something nice for someone who is more stressed than you and blog about it.

Well, I couldn't do the assignment because I couldn't find anyone more stressed than me.

Totally kidding!!! I did the homework, but I'm not going to blog about what I did. Because after I did my assignment, I started noticing all the little but nice things that people around me were doing. It was truly amazing to look around me and see people going out of their way for others. So I'd like to share some of those things I saw this week!

• A girl holding the door open when it wasn't very convenient for a mom holding two kids

• A mom helping out with extra church duties while she is under the stress of sending two of her youngest children out of the home for different activities

• A boy literally running home to get a paper to help out his group in a group project

• Parents picking up food for their kids and funding their fun summer activities!

• A roommate and her parents putting a lot of time to plan and fund a great bachelorette party

• A boyfriend getting his girlfriend flowers just because :)

• Parents in general making unbelievable sacrifices for their children!

These aren't all the things I saw, but just some examples of service from this week. It really is amazing to see people go out of their way just to make other people's days happier, easier, or more fun! Even if it's not a huge act of service, it brightens peoples' days. And I don't know about you, but I would like to be remembered as someone who helps others out. So I'm going to try to go out of my way to help people more often. It makes people's lives better! And it makes you more happy. Really. Just something to think about :)

La vie est belle :)
