Doing something for others

There are days when you can get stuck on things not going your way. Me included, to the point that we will give a day to doing nothing productive. Yesterday may have been one of those days. I got a call to ask me if I could run someone around for some errands, they needed to take care of. I said yes right away. They said it is okay if you have other things to do, I should have given you more notice. I told them give me 20 minutes and I would be on my way.

I got outside and was so glad I did. It felt good to get some fresh air, and the sun was shining. I got over to her house and she said she wasn't feeling good. We got outside and she said the air on her face made her feel better. We began to talk and enjoy the day. We got to the stores and found everything she needed. Stopped and got her something to eat. We people watched as we went through our outing. We laughed, talked and strolled through the stores.

As I dropped her off, she thanked me for coming to get her. I should have thanked her. I probably would have spent the day in the house. She got me out in the fresh air and the sun. I was able to laugh and have good conversation. I was able to get some extra steps in.

I also went to my bonus baby's game and told her mom I would bring her home. She also needed a break. When we got there, she was in the bed. I was glad that she had the chance to just get some rest. It all fueled me when I would have opted to stay in the house. I got to give in a way that people needed yesterday. To be able to of service to them, also helped me.
