21 Reasons . . . for Anything

You’ve got JJ today.  The theme continues with 21 reasons . . . but, given I don’t mind posting (long as I have some sort of idea what to write about) . . . I opted for 21 reasons for doing anything someone might request of us—long as it’s decent, legal, and something within our capacity/capability of doing (and, if it’s not, we find or suggest an option).

It’s something that:

is kind to dowe do from the heartmakes us happymakes us a better personwe don’t intentionally seek gratitude forresults in the requesting person smilelessens the requesting person’s load (and that’s a great thing)is supportive / helpful / enlighteningprovides purposeoffers a sense of satisfactionisn’t a big deal, so we do it with a smilemakes us feel good / accomplishedwe learn fromcould inspire othersenhances our self-confidence or self-respectmay help us meet new people / make new friendsprompts us to do/give your bestmay alleviate our own sense of apprehension / stress / sadness by focusing on the task (in other words, it distracts)sets a good example / inspires others (to be equally giving)may result in us getting assistance when we require itgood = good (there’s that cosmos / kismet belief that if you do good, you receive good).

So, there you have it—my contribution to 21 reasons.  Nothing mind-blowing or earth-shattering.  Just some food for thought.

I’m curious as to what Cousin Reynalda will come up with for Saturday’s post.  Linda and I saw her frantically jotting notes this morning as she gulped back a mega-sized mug of coffee (her fourth).  Linda’s thinking “scary”, I’m thinking “melodramatic” (he-he).
