Life isn't supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn't supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or a terrible loss. It's just another day.

In this discovery about myself I have found more opprotunities to do little acts of service. It really hit me hard the other day when I was driving to school and saw a man stuck in his chair. He was older and could not get himself upright and kept falling back into the chair. I was at a stoplight in the left turn lane and in order to get to him I would have to get into the middle lane. I could have waited a few second when the light turned green to let the the 2 cars in the middle pass and then go straight but I didnt I turned and headed to school. All day it bugged me that I did not help this man. Since then my eyes and ears have been open to any small thing i can do to help. Today Dave and I saw an older gentleman having a hard time lifting some salt bags into his car and I mentioned to Dave how many acts of service we can find if we just open our eyes and that was enough for Dave to go over and help the gentleman with his last bag of salt. I hope we can be an example to our girls and help with the little things that pass by so many others.
