Doing good deeds?

We are not always aware of what one can do to be helpful at this time of year, actually everyday.
Little things do count, if your really think about it, and I do. 
These last several years when my life has seemed to have turned topsy turvey I now understand.
Yep, I was the volunteer with many non-profits.
I will not go into in all the different ways I was initiated to do things, since they are well documented here, amongst years of blogs.
But times change and for the last several years so many things done for me have been noticed.
From comped theater tickets for the county chorale group from my FB friend Lee, which to us was a very BIG DEAL, to strangers opening doors and offering helping in so many ways.  
People by nature do want to be good and helpful on the whole I have found out in life.

Sadly, it has been difficult being on the receiving end instead of the giving end.
Although, it is not too often that we have any people offering.
I believe this may be due to our isolationism in recent years,
not socializing with others as much, and perhaps my attitude has an undercurrent of resentment, about my own self that is.

You see, even when people did want to visit I was not as enthusiastic as I used to be, due to my inability to entertain like I did years ago.I did try but its sub-par, and not everyone understands why that is.We had been in the restaurant business and so we did cater then, back in the 1980's, so it was always a lot of everything when we would be serving family and friends at home too, even way back when before then back in the 1970's, as many as sixty people at our home up north. So these days when feeding just us is a rather big deal, I feel sad.
Thus a whole bunch of take out menus, but we are helping the economy, hmm?  
Just know that whatever anyone does at any time does mean so much and we do appreciate it. 
Although, Hubby is not as inclined to accept help as I am, and thankfully he is more able, but I do worry anyway...

Silly thoughts but timely in so many ways; tis the season.

On these notes of deep contemplation allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all the overages with you know whom and we will too!  

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
