If you’re not into awards and don’t participate, that’s absolutely fine. Please accept this as my way of saying I really your blogs.

The three ways I like to help are

• Take time to smile and say “Hello” to everyone. Sometimes that simple effort can make a difference in the other person’s day.
• I like to pay-it-forward to those in need.
• I don’t gossip. Gossiping causes so much pain and I don’t want to contribute to someone else’s unhappiness.
