Don’t Sweat Small Stuff; Chapter 8: Do Something Nice for Someone Else
Have you read the book,Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff–and it’s all small stuff 
Chapter 8 is only about 1 page long. The information is strait to the point. And…… the point is to do nice stuff without expecting something back. The point is to enjoy the feeling of having done something out of the goodness of your heart.
No bragging. No mentioning it in conversations with friends or family. No listing it on your resume.
“You always feel good when you give to others. Rather than diluting the positive feelings by telling others about your own kindness, by keeping it to yourself you get to retain all the positive feelings.” From Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff–and it’s all small stuff
I had to think hard about when I’ve done something out of the pure joy of doing it. Here’s a zig ziglar quote that seems to sum up what my feeling is: ” You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”
On a daily basis, I help my girls, one with autism, one with ADHD. I do nice things for my man. I’ve done nice things for my ex.
But, if I really dug deep, aren’t most of those acts a form of compensation or in my children’s case, a way to avoid meltdowns? No, not all of them, but I’d say a majority of them of are in some way.
Alas, I had another example from another point of view about doing good, but keeping it a secret to yourself. The thought has flown the nest.
You can buy the book at Amazon in hard cover, soft cover, and the kindle cloud version which you can read right from you computer!

We often came through Kristiansand when we came from Hirtshals in Denmark. It’s beautiful. I especially like the photo with the tall ship. Thank you for sharing and extra information on Kristiansand. Thank you for visiting my blog. Yes taking leave is very, very difficult. The older you get the more you have to say good bye to a loved one for ever.Next time for “L” I take Lillehammer! I have been there several times and I have very great memories that town.

Did you know, Jabberwock, that they took off the mutton chops that came with my very first taste of mashed potatoes and garlic bread? If you didn't then, sorry to break it to you.I hate this attempt to desify everything. If I wanted to eat desi, WOULD I come to Nirula's? NO. STFU.

I generally convert my raw files anyway so I don’t have to worry about this. I wish the industry would create a standard. You would think this day in age formats would be standard. It’s all about the greenbacks…

August 29, 2012 at 9:42 amI saw this said on MSNBC last night, a woman from Beyond Nuclear was announced as a nuclear expert. She said that our nuclear plants could be susceptible to the same problem in Japan as far as a power blackout.BTW, I already know the answer to this question, this is for the anti-nuclear people who I feel have no understanding of how a nuclear power plant works.

Old Zig was one of my all time favorites. I used to listen to his “cassettes” in my car while traveling for business. He was wise and funny and helped me keep things in perspective. Keep up the good work as an advocate for children with special needs. The world needs more like you!
