Why Do You Do Good Deeds?

I believe each good deed has a ripple effect and what starts out as a small ripple...can become a tidal wave of change.

Good deeds of others....

One of the things I love about working with my husband is seeing him interact with his patients.  I enjoy hearing the comments from people he's been working on who can't say enough about the gentleness and compassion he shows them.  I really did get lucky finding him and every day I am reminded why I love him.  He truly cares about people and always goes the extra mile.

Little things...

One of our friends is having a lot of health issues with her husband and has been down in the dumps.  I purchased an encouraging card and had all our staff sign it so she knows we are here for her.

Patients are a virtue

Recently we found out one of our patients has cancer and needed a lot of dental work before he could start his treatments.  Because of their financial situation, the family didn't know if they could get it done.  We told them we would help them out and they could make small payments whenever they could.

Take the time...

Take the time to listen to people.  Most people just want a sympathetic ear to listen to their story.  It only takes a few minutes out of your day and it can really make a difference.

Friendly push

Told my mom she should go to CA to visit with my brother because I know she would enjoy herself even though she has to fly...which she does not like.  Also, I know my brother would really enjoy the time spent with her.

To my incredible Sister...

To my incredible Sister... I appreciate very much you joining A Global Garden and sharing a Good Deed with us already!  You mention a ripple effect in your "Why Do You Do Good Deeds?" answer and I absolutely Love the outcome of it... 
You are helping my small ripple turn into the positive Global tidal wave of change for all of us to benefit from.  I cannot thank you enough for your participation in A Global Garden... I do believe our Website will be even stronger in a few years when little Rowan is 'old' enough to understand the importance of doing good for others and the earth.  Cheers to the present and the future!
