I just went and snowplowed my neighbors driveway.
That really helped me feel better about life.

My cousin works for the PO - has been doing 80 hour weeks. On one of her routes (rural areas), there are some “neglected” old folks living in rundown circumstances. Her mom makes several different Christmas cookies every year so she asked her to make some extra this year. The extras went into cookie plates for the old folks - Christmas afternoon, she & her folks drove her route & delivered cookie plates.
From an essay (Thoughts in Winter - You Are Not Alone) by Heather Heying (DarkHorse podcast):
I hear from many extraordinary people. So many. Their openness and gratitude and refusal to submit revive not just my belief in humanity and the human spirit, but in our ability to stop this spiral, to return to a world in which we are good to one another not because someone with a credential says to, but because we know, from the deepest places in us, that being good to people is the best way to be—it helps self, it helps other, it helps all.
