Honesty Needs Payback
In these Corona days do we feel like we need a boost? Do we think others might feel the same?

It’s payback time...the good kind.
I’ve often felt that the best way to feel better is to help someone else. It seems counterintuitive, “Hey, I’m the one needing help, why should I have to help?” Because it gives you that lift in life, the one that’s been eluding you.
My routine, as I’m sure yours, has been dealt a blow. But I can’t really complain. So I won’t. I know people who have lost their livelihoods, can’t pay the rent, have sick spouses, children, had spouses or parents…who have died.

But in the course of my altered life I’ve found a way, maybe a tiny way, to help some people. And that helps me.
I found a niche where my situation can help another’s. And through my blog maybe I can induce other Americans to act in kind, kind being a key word here.

I came upon a man who inspired this post. A local man with a local business. He impressed me and I think when you hear about him you might recognize him. Maybe not the specific person, Devin, but the Devin near you. And if you do you might want to engage in some payback…the good kind.
