"If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day." --Alex Noble

Jogging for a Smile

Lots of people jog for exercise. And as long as you're going for a run, why not run an errand for someone who needs the help at the same time?
