It doesn't seem to help if its something for my kids and husband though WHY IS THAT? It only feels GOOD if I help someone OUTSIDE of my immediate family a friend or a stranger.
Recently the man outside my VONS asked for change I said NO sharply but I did ask if he wanted anything to eat. He said "yes, some friend chicken" LOL so I went into the deli and bought that nice man some friend chicken. I FELT BETTER... even thinking about it again makes me feel better!2 weeks ago I was picking up my teenager from the movies and I passed a little car ( I don't know what kind something trite ) in the middle of the 2 lanes. I pulled over and asked "What in the hell are you doing?". Turns out the car was full of these beautiful Italians who spoke hardly any English and had run out of gas and did not know what to do. Then, in my new found Italian accent, I directed the men to push the car with me AND the woman to steer. We pulled the car to the side then I took the woman to the gas station. She was concerned where we were going to put the gas to take back LOL I explained you buy a gas can from
the attendant and fill it. They were very grateful and
I FELT BETTER.
My teenager when she was studying for her Batmitzvah was encouraged to help at a soup kitchen. She and I loved this experience so much we continue to do it.
Maybe I should get a job that helps others directly...any ideas?
Why can't cleaning the kitchen feel that good? because it is FOR my FAMILY? I pack lunches for my sweet lil girls 5 days a week 20 days a month and so on....yet that doesn't feel that good? WHY NOT?
I have to clean now and take my teenager driving, things that DO NOT make me feel very good.
