I couldn’t settle on a topic for this week’s Saturday Surprise, so I’m just tossing in a few odds ‘n ends I came across that made me smile, in hopes they will do the same for you!

My husband has a tendency to move slower on the weekends, and knowing we had alot of errands to get done, I went into the store looking for him, annoyed. I found him, reading ingredients to an elderly man and helping him calculate ratios for what he needed, because he couldn’t do it himself anymore. And listening to him tell stories of his acres of land nearby. I forgot about errands, our time crunch, our tasks…and thought man, if we could all just take a little time to help eachother with just the littlest things, how good we would all feel. And remembered that I snagged a good one.

Butterflies can’t see their wings. They can’t see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well.

“I was waiting for my prescription at Walgreen, and I noticed this man is picking up his medicines.. He is asking how much they are, and starting to get nervous about the price. The total was $170 and the pharmacist asked if he would rather only get one month of his medicines instead of 3. “THIS lady next to me, walks up to them and says: NO, he is getting all three months and pays for his bill. I was walking out of there with tears in my eyes, what an amazing woman…”
I promised David a funny bird video earlier this week, and this one is guaranteed to bring at least a smile, if not a full-throttle laugh!
Now, my friends, it’s Saturday so go have some fun, relax after a long hard week!
A lot of smiles here. Inside and out. I feel a bit better now after a few difficult days-it’s good to see the beauty in life. Thanks for sharing some of it.

Such kindness shown to the man at the hardware store and pharmacy. And Cena. An example of what we can do for each other to ease the hardships in life.

The more we hear stories like that, the more it might inspire others to act in this way. Negativity breeds more negativity but positivity breeds more positive actions and thoughts. What good would it do to give up and throw our hands up? The challenge is to keep on trying to make our world a better place and spread some joy.

Good point!!! Yes, I keep fighting the good fight, hoping to leave this world just a little bit better than I found it, but more often than not I think I fail in that effort.
