A Short Story…

Barry thinks we should share and work together to make a better world. Please, read and share on your own. If we make the world just a little bit better we have done something worthwhile haven’t we?

Don & Peg,
You are correct. Helping others does not cost, it pays. I have enjoyed being involved with helping others for my entire life starting way back when I was a kid. I continue to look for opportunities, small and large, as I go about my day.
I theorize that helping others is one of the reasons I maintain an appearance and youthful energy that is much younger than my actual age even while in my 80s. Helping does not cost, it pays.
With all the problems we suffer within our world today, if we can make the world even a little bit better even making it better for just one person, that is a worthwhile effort.
Thanks for your message, Don & Peg
