I drove to a local supermarket the other day．My shopping list was and my wallet was light．Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family．I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could it all．
As I the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle ．He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to the hungry in my area．He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to if I could．I smiled back, took the and walked into the store．I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time．
I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas, and a dozen other things．I slowly each item off my list until I was done．When I looked down at my full cart I again if I even had enough to pay for it all．Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food list under it．I smiled and decided to trust my heart．
With the food bank in mind, I went over and two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart．It took six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them, my heart felt six times larger when I did．And when everything was , I had just enough to pay for it all．

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly? Well, that’s how I about joining Madcaps, a mothers and daughters’ club assisting philanthropies (慈善事业). , my feeling changed finally. Now I believe if you adopt an attitude, you might just enjoying it.
Six months ago, my mom told me the club asked us to work as at Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless shelter. That meant I had to in the dirty homeless shelter for at least 20 hours.
The first time we went there, a lady led us to the kitchen where we my five fellow Madcaps classmates — they also wore the same expression. Since I’m usually socially , I had never talked with any of them earlier. Worse still, my mom was asked to help outside the kitchen, leaving me totally to serve food with them. Soon large numbers of homeless families in like rushing river. A little girl, around 5 years old, walked up to me. I her a cold sandwich. She took it and joined her family quickly. As she walked away, I she was wearing a coat, clearly too big for her, hanging on her thin body, and couldn’t help thinking how much I had with her. It suddenly struck me that how I am.
After that moment I had a of heart. Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting. I have awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the 20 hours of philanthropies.
So that is how I have made a by doing one thing I don’t want to do. If you have an open about things you can accomplish more and become a well-rounded (全面的) person.

You had better learn to be grateful. If you are grateful, you naturally yourself up to receive all kinds of blessings and good things in life. You can receive almost everything you want . If you want recovery soon, start by feeling grateful that you are still . If it is more money that you want, start being grateful for whatever of money you already have.
You see, showing gratitude(感恩) is the key to every thing in life. It is the key to successful relationships, it is the key to successful futures and it is the key to healthier and happier lives. And this is where the importance of being grateful lies. , it makes life better.
One of my favorite is “If you learn to appreciate more of what you already have, you will find yourself having more to appreciate.” Think about that!
Something as as a “Thank you for being in my life” or “I having you here with me”, can go a long way. It will make the other person feel good, and it also will make you feel better!
So maybe your wife is not very around the house, but she’s great at cooking your favorite . Or, maybe your child milk all over your new shirt right before you walked out the door for work, but usually he makes you laugh so much and makes you the luckiest parent in the world.
I strongly you to make a promise to yourself for the next week. Decide to every morning and think of at least 5 things that you are for. Then say them out loud. You will notice a smile on your face without even . In 30 days you will feel completely renewed. This is the of being grateful!
