"When we read poetry we gain insight. When those poems come from all over, we broaden our view of what frightens us, what makes us happy, what makes us sad, what we love, and what we can do to make a difference." EXACTLY. This is what inspired me...

These simple things make everyone's day a bit brighter and the load that they carry a bit lighter. It also means the world to us when someone shows that they care enough to help. This is inspiring, Erik. I hope you will continue sharing here!

I wonder how YOU felt while you were doing these things, Daniel. I'll bet that doing small things that help others brings you a lot of happiness too. In so many ways, giving to others is a way of making our own lives better too. You should be very...
