As I was scavenging for a parking spot outside of Target (Newpark Mall), I was about to make a right turn to browse the other isle of parking space. That's when I saw two children and their mom waiting for me to pass or turn before they walked across the hash marks that leads to Target's front doors. Both kids were preteens and I saw them support their mom as they stand waiting. They waved for me to go first but I waved back for them to proceed. We traded smiles as we continued to signal each other once more. In the end, I watched as the kids helped their limping mom walk across to target.
I have to be honest that it made me feel good inside. It made me feel like I made their day though I don't know if I really did. It made me feel happy again.
As of recent, my life has been more superficial than ever.
From wiktionary.com superficial means...Shallow, lacking substance; At face value; pertaining to the surface; being near the surface
My happiness was based too much on events. Gatherings of people and alcohol. Belligerent drunks. Flirting. Being buzzed.
I forgot some of the simple things in life that could make anyone happy. A good deed done by one makes two people happy; the doer and the receiver. Try doing a favor or something nice and you'll definitely feel better about yourself. Make the world a happier place.

ReplyDeleteRight on! Good deeds bring a sort of lower purpose warmth to my soul also.
