12 Days of Giving- #2

The challenge today is to Give someone else a break.

I know, there are times while we're out shopping for presents that we'd like to use that phrase and refer to cracking a bat over a head or two. Resist. (If I have to, you have to…)

I'm talking about looking around you and seeing if there's someone you can give a hand to for an hour or two. Or even a minute. Lol- someone suggested letting another person in front of you at the checkout line up. Yeah…if they have a couple items. I'll admit if they have a cartful I'd hesitate.

No- here's an example of what I really mean. When my kids were little I traded a two hour babysitting time with my friend. She got to go shop sans kidlets–and face it, 2 hours kid free shopping  is the equivalent of 5 hours with them along, no matter how good they are. Then the next day she returned the favour.

Bliss.

If you can think of one small step to take to make someone else's day a little lighter- take it.

I've got a 10$ Starbucks gift card for one person to take their own break after the holidays. Add a comment today to be entered to win.
