Someone does something good for you, do something good for someone else and keep it going. It could be anything and that's what makes it special.

My motto (taken from Mother Teresa) is "There are no great things, only small things done with great love." I visit the nursing home and take something small to residents--a flower, a picture, etc. I make a point of telling people what I like about them or telling managers about a nice employee. Just little things--you never know how far they go!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07555801699717110498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3665695377128203614.post-5129437079760139712012-09-30T18:24:56.380-05:002012-09-30T18:24:56.380-05:00I think making a difference happens in the little ...I think making a difference happens in the little things in life!

I frequent the local bakeries, restaurants, and boutiques before going to large chains. My heart is definitely with my local farmers as well and prefer to give them my support over the commercial growers when possible. It's often these small businesses who are also focused on giving back by supporting local charities. They are grateful to their community, so the generosity comes full circle and keeps everyone connected.

Sometimes it's a few dollars for the homeless at the red light, other times it's donations of food to the local food pantry or animal shelter. We also volunteer our time to many organizations ( Delta Zeta, the local high school). I can't wait to read about how others are showing their generosity.
