Hit Motion Picture of 2005?

So this will be my first blog without Mastery to focus my thoughts so lets see how this goes.

So if ya'll didn't know, I work as a nurse at the Good Sam in Stony Plain. I have worked there for about 2 years coming fast upon 3. It is a good place to work, the staff are friendly and most of the residents are kind. The place is clean and everybody helps with everything. Or I like to think so.

This year for acts of kindness I have been writing down mediorce things. " I helped carry supplies for someone" or " I held open a door for someone". Those everyday things that is just commom curtesy. Ya know, be kind not for the reward, but because it is right. And being kind is not being a pushover, but I digress. Today I reflected what extra ...err... helpfulness? Yeah helpfulness I give my job. 

For instance, I realized that my co-worker was overwhelmed with her duties and was stressed. So I told her that I would take part of her workload, seeing as I had almost finished mine. She was surprised? And I am never sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but I personally don't like seeing people going through a tough time if I can help it. But at the end of the day she was less stressed and even though she had a tough day she came and said thanks. 

Hey, ya'll ever seen that 2005 hit motion picture by Blue Sky Studios, Robots? Starring Robbie Williams (Ms. Doubtfire)  and Ewan McGregor (Obi Wan Kenobi)? That Hit Comedy? The funniest animation in existence save "The Emperors New Groove"? Yeah, you know the one I'm talking about.

Anyway in the comedic genius of Robots the main theme is "See a need, fill a need". Which has probably impacted my life a lot more than it should have :| . But I stick to it! Because if I can simply help someone, then why the heck wouldn't I?

And I mean this is just personal to me, because growing up, you find that everyone has a different version of kindness. We are so indivdual in our desire to help and what lengths we go to extend that to others. And even though they are different, they are not wrong. We are all so freaking kind in our own ways and honestly I could rant about the compassion that each of show to each other on a daily bases but then everyone would be stuck here all night. 

So. Thats not where I wanted to go but here we are.

Imma gonna close saying this, I am choosing to write down the things  that I find mediorce and the actions of kindness that I know that it was a conscious decsion to make. So even if you know that its a act of kindness that you think "Oh anybody would do it" WRITE IT DOWN. Cause whether or not you know it, you made a differene to somebody.
