Experiment Days 4 and 5 (Weekend): Helping Others (Dorthy and Megan)

Saturday (Day 4):  I wasn't feeling very well on Saturday, but I still went and did some volunteer hours and I started to feel better by the end of the day.  I then remembered that Dorthy was going to go and cut down some trees because she needed the wood for her wood burning stove, which is her and her husbands main source of heat in the winter.  Dorthy's husband is ill and so I knew she could probably use some help, so without her asking I showed up and helped her to haul a full load of wood to her home.  I feel like sometimes people shouldn't have to even ask for help because people can sometimes sense it.

Sunday (Day 5):  I had a long weekend and I was very tired Sunday morning.  I got a text early that day about my friend needing some help with her baby.  I am not a mother, but I do have the mothering instinct and I knew that I could at least try to help her out and in the end all it was was Megan just needing to know that I was there for her as a friend and that she could count on me to be there for support.  I feel like a had a very successful weekend.
