Happy #10a: Find someone to serve.



I have a saying. Ok. I have several.
But this a good one.

When you want to feel better, find:

Something to be grateful for.
And something to do.
Something to laugh about.
Something to look forward to.
And someone to serve.

Kelsie made headbands for Juliet for Christmas. They were elegant and charming handcrafted extensions of Kelsie's creative soul. Juliet wears her sister's original works with pride. She was thrilled with the gift. Yes, because they are extraordinary. But mostly because of the time Kelsie took in making them. Kelsie spent hours on her bedroom floor with ribbon and feathers and jewelry spread out around her while she created her gifts of love. So every time Juliet puts on one of the headbands (and they are the most delightful things), she feels loved.

The headbands are a symbol. They represent a sister's love. Because time was involved.

There are lots of ways to serve. But they all have one thing in common.

Time.

Even if it's just five minutes.

Find someone to serve. It doesn't have to be complicated. Or even a headband. ;D It just needs to be something. Anything. Because we're all the same at heart and we all need the same things. We all just want to feel like we matter.

You know I'm right. ;D
