Strawberries, good deeds and moodiness

Post Reply New Topic

We had some strawberries I bought the other day that nobody was eating so they were about to go bad. I had to do something with them today so I decided to make a pie. I had so many of them that I had enough for two pies, which I made and which turned out great. We won't eat two strawberry pies so I was still stuck with strawberries that would be going bad. I called my mother to see if she wanted it but she didn't. I called up my friends to see if any of them wanted it but all the girls are on diets because it's about bathing suit season and the one guy I called is out of town. So, I had no clue what to do with it.

The grocery store is too far to walk to, the tanning bed is out because everybody there would be on a diet too (bathing suits) and the only other neighbor that is at home is one I don't like. I decided to run it over to the police station and see if anybody was there. It's all guys there and they are usually healthy eaters and even though there are only two on duty at a time, other people come in and the chief of police is there in his office and the mayor comes in once a day so there would be people there to eat it. I walked it on over because it's a nice day and I needed the exercise (and to work off the two pieces of the other one that I ate before going) and was going to just leave it on the counter if nobody was there, with a note that says to eat it and somebody drop my plate back off to me when they are done, and who do you suppose was sitting there at the desk? The one cop that I don't like. He gets on my very last nerve and we usually argue but I decided to be nice because the last time I had any interaction with him he had actually been nice and complimented me. He was happy to have the pie and said he was sure it would be gone before the day was out and somebody will bring my dish back when it's gone.

I feel good that I did that. It wasn't much but it was a nice gesture to somebody and I think that was the thing I needed to make my day turn around and be a better day, as I wasn't in all that good a mood today. It's funny how doing one little thing for somebody, just out of the blue like that, can make you feel good isn't it? I should do random nice things more often.

Who can resist fresh pie?

i get in bad moods and don't want to interact with anyone, and as soon as I get a thought in my head to do something for some one or some people, I always fell better. the funny thing is if I'm in the wrong mood and some one does something good for me, I can feel rezentment over it. it's then I like to call myself a big baby!
it helps.

I used to buy donuts and leave them in the break room anonymously when I felt bad.
