Killer,
When you help someone do they know it is you or do you help without them knowing it was you? I feel better when it is private helping versus public.
Have you ever rescued an animal from the shelter? How did that feel - did you love the animal? I love my buddies and cannot think of life without them.
Somewhat off topic: I attended one of those one day seminars that work will send you to and the speaker told us her theory on anger (the seminar was how to be a better manager). Her words changed me that day and basically she challenged us to give it a go. Her theory: Anger is not an emotion but a physcial reaction that you can choose to avoid. Her description was something like...You are driving to work and someone cuts you off. You can either choose to be upset or you can choose to let them in graciously. If you choose to be upset then your body will release adenaline (sp?) (fight of flight reaction) and that it takes the body 20 minutes for it to go through your system. Anytime in that next 20 minutes that you get annoyed will trigger the response to start again and continue for the next 20 minutes...so basically if you keep getting mad within a 20 minute time frame your entire day can be fueled by adrenaline/anger. I tried it and it was absolutely amazing and even if I got mad the next time something triggered me, I chose to be gracious and it did work. After awhile it became habit to choose whether it was worth being upset about or to let it go. Hopefully this makes sense.
Let me know if any of this gives you food for thought or you want me to just be quiet.
Take care,
Dickons
