"Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others…by and large, I have come to see that if we com pain about life, it is because we are thinking only of ourselves."
Gordon B. Hinckley
42. From MJ and Brad Bakove:
I usually take a bag to pick up trash on my beach walks. Brad and I went to Hendry's Beach Sunday morning to take in the day. We must have been the first ones on the sand after the big party Saturday night. I counted 4 fire pits with coals still warm. We picked up 40 bottles and cans and filled 4 bags with assorted trash, small pieces of plastic, cigarette butts, bottle caps, & clothing. Don't need to add more to the Great Pacific Plastic Gyre.
43. From the Eric and Suzanne Cunningham family…
The kids prepared and took flowers to their teachers this week. An act of kindness for Grandma!
Grandma and the Wolf!
44. Brenda Poulsen reported that James Ribera showed up at their new house ready and willing to paint. His unexpected help was of great benefit to Brenda and her family. Good job!!
45. From Alyssa Shrout: My sister-in-law was having a rough couple of days so I ordered flowers and had them sent to her at her massage school to brighten her day. It worked! Happy Birthday Grandma!
46-50. "Tonight the Mia Maids (of the Washington 9th Ward) spent their evening doing a service reject for Mrs. Mann's Story Time at the St. George Library in honor of Sister Josephine Cunningham. Due to the recent flooding, most of Mrs. Mann's supplies and resources from over the years were ruined. Her bean bags, that she frequently uses for a variety of activities were destroyed. The Mia Maids took this opportunity to serve by sewing and making her new bean bags! The night was full of smiles and good laughs as these daughters of God served in honor of Sister Cunningham. The Mia Maids hope to be as awesome as her when they are 91!"
