When you help someone else, you often help yourself. It is through our work, that we often find ourselves.
I ran across this quote by Eeyore and wanted to share:
A little Consideration, a little Thought for Others, makes all the difference. 
If you can't tie a balloon to your own tail, to lift yourself up: Find a friend, family member, or open minded stranger that will do so for you. On the flip side, if you see someone that could use a little pick up...tie a balloon to their tail. It only takes a minute and could mean the world to that other person.
Do we all need to drive around with a carload of balloons and string? No. But, hey, if you wanted to and that made you happy: then go for it.
My thought with this quote is that when you start feeling bad about things and ruminating on your problems...Why don't you turn that situation into one where you can help someone else out? You can stop yourself from spirning into what I call "Stinkin Thinkin" by just helping another person. In the end, your problems may not seems so big after all.
Sharing is Caring,
Miss Oakley
