so....

One of my friends noticed that it has been over a month since I posted anything on my own live journal----I've kept up with what other people are posting and even commented on them......but I guess I haven't really felt like I had much to contribute myself :)p

I guess my biggest worry is writing something that later I'll look back at and think, "why did I say that?"---I'm my own (self-censoring) editor, I guess. Part of me knows that most people don't really look at or respond to other people's entries unless they're really interesting (human nature) and so I wonder why I should post anything at all---so even knowing that my entries probably won't be noticed still inhibits rather than frees me......I guess if nothing else I should write to clear my own head and just accept "talking" to hear myself "speak"?

Are you happy now, S----?

the things that count

I was riding in a car this afternoon and we were stopped for traffic, and I looked out the window and noticed an elderly gentleman walking on the sidewalk---he bent down to pick something up (and I thought, "is he picking up a lucky penny?), but he had picked up a crushed plastic bottle......just doing his part to help out in a small way.

It reminded me of a commercial I really like--it's for insurance (I can't remember the insurance company---guess the commercial didn't work in that regard)-- but it shows various people each seeing someone else do some random act of kindness, and they in turn do something themselves. It's like the "pay it forward" theory, but much simpler and doesn't even stipulate doing something in "return".

It was just a small thing...but it made me smile----
