Reaching Out to An Associate in Need . . . Pay it Forward
While reading through my Social Blog, I caught a word on sonmeone's post that made me stop.
There was a tone that I caught that hit the sense in me that this particular blogger was having problems or maybe just caught up in some excesses of life and just needed a helping hand or maybe just an ear to talk to.
I made the call and we made the connection. As we were already a subscriber to each other's posts, it took a lot of the clumsiness out of the conversation and allowed us to just friend talk.
Yes, there were some issues in their life; and yes times have been stressed, and yes it was good just to have a change in the day to change their focus.
When the conversation was over, it was confirmed that we would meet up shortly, just to sit and continue the talk over lunch.
We have all manner of opportunities around us daily to help with a random act of kindness. The signs are there and not all involve extending ourselves financially, unless of course we pick up the check.
Look and listen, you don't know when there is a sign of strain that we can help to alleviate if only for a few minutes.
