Take a Penny, Leave a Penny

Ok it may be a metaphor in this case, but the idea is the same; something useful (and free) is there just when you need it  and the next time you may return the favor. Advice can be like that, right? My grandparents always told me if you find something interesting or helpful, pass the knowledge on. A good deed, if you will.

It has been a rough week and it is so cold outside the winter blues have set in...but today I cured it with two simple things: some great Indian food and the advice of my grandparents.

How, you ask? Well the Indian food is my comfort, my tonic and always puts me in a good mood. I know its the aromatics of the spices, but that is another topic entirely. Ok so the other mood elevator was hearing my product review helped a fellow crafter. Music to my ears! She said I saved her from buying the wrong product, and even though I posted my review back in September, it was still out there, waiting for that perfect moment when someone needed it. Helping others is free, easy and feels great both ways. Something that takes us about 5 minutes to write, can save someone a few hours of time, or frustration. At the end of the day, I feel happy knowing I helped someone who in turn, brightened my day by returning the good energy.

Sharing, such a simple and beautiful thing!
