Power of Simple Generosity

--by zellie, posted Mar 23, 2007

I used to work in a small department of a company. Because I use to make everyone smile, I made them feel special on a bad day, celebrated their birthdays, they all felt special and I was often called the "heart" of the department.

When I left after six years, I had the most amazing farewell. So many people showed up that I was amazed! BUT most of my friends and collegues were in tears because "no one will be there to listen to their problems or to motivate them anymore." I had no idea I was even doing that for them.

So since leaving, I have joined this website and I have been sending them inspiring stories from this website and I think they feel better that "someone" cares.

I miss being around those people, I miss making them smile ... it was my goal every morning when I woke up -- to make people happy!!!
