A family friend recently passed away and instead of sending a standard “I’m sorry for your loss” card to her children and husband, I took some time to write to them about a time when she came to my aid and how much that meant to me and how it was reflective on the person she was and good friend she was to me and my family.

This past Thursday I received the greatest Christmas present I could have ever given myself. I was waiting at the Grey Hound Bus Terminal to pick up a box of Frozen mice shipped from Dallas, TX, that I feed my eagles, hawks and owls at Eagle Valley Raptor Center. I was early and they were not open yet. As I was sitting in my van, with one of my little owls I had taken along for the ride, I looked up and there in the alley behind the Bus Building, there was what was obviously a homeless man around 70 years old, standing in the sun like he was trying to keep warm. He had a old torn jacket on, a pair of dirty pants that had one leg torn from the knees down to his shoes. You could see he had no socks on, and his legs were red and bluish and looked swollen. He had on a pair of tennis shoes that he didn’t have tied up. He had all of his belongings in plastic bags between his legs on the ground. When ever another person would walk by him he would lower his head and squeeze his belongings as if to protect them from beinging taken. When the bus terminal opened up, I went inside to get my package. As I was waiting, the man I was watching came inside and put his belongings on one of the benches. He reached in his pocket and pulled out some money and started counting it. He then walked up to the ticket counter. I got my box of mice and took it outside to my van. I had this man on my mind and wanted to find out what his situation was. I went back inside and sat down next to him and introduced myself. I asked him where he was headed and he said Salina to see his sister. He said they had a special where it was only $10.00 to get there. He was seeing his sister. I asked him if he had another pair of pants to wear and he said he didn’t. I then I asked him if he would go over to Gander Mountain with me to get some new pants and socks. He said he had some money, but he needed it for food and medicine and he was on social security. I loaded him and his belongings in my van. On the way there we talked and found out he was 79 years old, a retired military vet and his name was Richard. When we went into the store the employees immediately looked at him as he was dirty and smelled. I told the store manager about him and that he was with me and I was paying for everything. We found some nice insulated Carhart Bibs for him and some wool socks. I had Richard wear the bibs to the check out stand. We paid for everything, and I wanted to throw away his old pants, but he wanted to keep them. So I asked the clerk for an extra bag. He hadn’t put on his socks yet, so I asked him to sit in a chair at the entrance of the store and put on a pair. He was having a hard time getting them on. His feet were swollen and in very bad condition. I think it hurt for him to try and put on socks. So I got on my knees and helped him. As people were coming in the store, some of them passed by without looking and some even made faces. I felt like I was meant to do this for him and I didn’t care who saw me. When I was lacing his shoes up, he said to me “You know they have very competitve prices here” I about busted out laughing! After we got his socks on and shoes laced up, we went back to my van and I took him back to the bus terminal. When we got there, he seemed to walk really tall and proud as he went back to the ticket counter. When he came back to the bench to sit down, I told him he owed me for what I did for him. He had already thanked me, and asked what he owed me. I told him that if he ever saw someone that he was able to help in some way, I wanted him to pay it forward. He said he would and smiled. We said our goodbyes and said Merry Christmas and I left. Why I did this I do not know. I have never done something like this before, but it is now going to be a new Christmas Tradition. This whole thing took maybe an hour, but it has given me a life time of memories. As I drove home I had a big lump of happiness in my throat!

I spent time making Christmas cookies with my “little sister”. We threw on aprons, mixed up the ingredients and baked up some chocolate chip yumminess. You’d never know it was her first time cracking an egg.

Videotaped my boss’s parents talking about what it was like to raise their creative wild child, Sonia. She now has a 26-minute video she prizes more than gold – and we have blackmail material for years to come;)

Yesterday a co-workers car was hit on Kellogg in a hit and run. She was rattled and did not catch the plate number. A good citizen trailed the car, called in the plate and the driver was cited.

Thank you to the person who saw a “hit and run” accident today, followed the driver and phoned in the tag number to the police. If not for you, I’d be scrambling for a deductible right before the holidays.
I’m blessed not to be hurt and so thankful for whomever you are. May you be blessed.

Recently, I heard Miss Kansas speaking to a group of students. She talked about helping others and doing a deed of kindness for someone else. I immediately thought of my neighbor’s daughter who has been sick for a couple of days. I was so inspired by the thought of how easy doing a deed was that I made some soup and took it to the little girl. Also, I brought her a tiara and an autographed picture of Miss Kansas. Her eyes lit up! I think it made her day and it definitely made mine!

I attend college with several young adults that struggle to stay above the poverty level. While speaking with one student and his wife one night, we began to fantasize about the riches that await us further on in our careers. His biggest roadblock, he said, happened to be his ragged appearance. He only owned two pairs of pants, both of which were old, faded, ragged at the cuffs, and often dirty. Later that week I brought him 10 pairs of jeans that no longer fit me, all almost brand new. In addition to the jeans, I also threw in 3 pairs of dress slacks to wear for the imminent job interview in his future.

Simply smile to anyone, a friendly look instead of giving them a nasty look. Maybe, his/her day gets better by your smile and It doesn’t cost anything. A good deed simply can be a big SMILE, a positive sign…..and if we all smile, the world will be a better place.

I meet a one legged man in our local gas station who was hot, sweaty, and tired. After talking to him I found out he had walked there from a town 20 miles away and was trying to buy a bus ticket home. He was 28 dollars short and was about to start walking some more. I bought the ticket from the clerk and went out to give it to him. He begain to cry and thank me so much I started to cry as well. He got to go home.

The stories here are universal. I’ve not only submitted a deed, but also shared this site with people in other counties, states, and countries. Humankind has created too many borders to effect exclusion; thanks to all here for helping the world move beyond them! May your ripples become waves!

One day I was in the drive-up lane at a fast food restaurant and when I reached the window, I was told the car in front of me paid for my order. Knowing how much this random act brightened my day, I began to do it (particularly if the vehicle behind me looks like it is driven by someone having a tough day, on fixed income, or a college student. Instantly makes us both feel better!

I found that this is a good way to put a huge smile on a busy persons face.
When there is a red light and the traffic is backed up soooo much and you see somebody is trying to make a right turn…STOP! and let them turn in. It makes you feel good, it helps them out…becuase 5 oclock traffic sometimes it takes forever to get onto the road from certain stores, and it just speeds things along. Plus other people see you doing it, and probably havnt even thought about doing it…so then they start doing it also.

Late this evening we heard our elderly neighbor’s security alarm go off. We called to check on them. Thankfully everything was alright. They could not figure out how to reset their alarm. We were able to coach them over the phone and got their system back on.

I have psoriasis. It’s a non-terminal, noncommunicable inflammatory disorder of the immune system. For a lot of people, it results in large patches of scaly, painful skin and for some psoriatic arthritis.
Psoriasis is a largely unknown, misunderstood disorder and many new sufferers turn to the Facebook page of the National Psoriasis Foundation with questions when they are first diagnosed. I help by posting encouraging advice about various treatments and relate, as best I can, to their struggles.
