Above and beyond

I go back through my blog posts sometimes to remind myself where I was with things in my life so I can see the progress or to look for happy little tidbits that might have slipped my mind.

Sometimes I post something just for that purpose, to be a tidbit to look back on and smile. This is one of those posts.

We live in a busy world where so often people are 100% focused on themselves and surviving, just getting by. We forget to take time for others; we forget to laugh. We work, sleep, work, sleep, mow the grass, repeat.

This week, someone went above and beyond for me in the silliest and simplest way with pockets full of candy. I’m still laughing about pockets full of candy two days later. The backstory is nunya biznass, but the end result is someone went out of their way just to make me smile. That’s a gesture worth typing about; that’s worth remembering on some future rainy day. I love it when people are generous with their humor and generous with their time. That was a good day.

If you’re reading this post and maybe you don’t keep a blog or a journal, jot down something awesome and save it on some far off date on your phone’s calendar. When the reminder pops up a year from now, you’ll have a way to remember the awesome, happy moment from the past. Kinda cool, right? You’re welcome.
