the little things

It's the simple things that bring smiles to faces. The best part is that you don't have to do anything big, expensive, or insanely ornate to turn that frown upside down :)
All it takes is a moment of consideration to show your appreciation for that person! That's why I came up with the genius idea of cookie day! 

Baking those delicious peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies made me happy just thinking about how happy it would make the people I gave them to. Honestly the best thing about baking, or making anything in general, is the joy of giving it to someone else. Albeit cookies can't solve every problem in the world, they just make your day a little bit better (I hope). 

It's shameful to admit, but nevertheless true, I catch myself being greedy more than generous. Thinking back, it really disappoints me. Some say it's just part of human nature, but in my opinion, that doesn't provide a valid excuse for such behavior. It wouldn't kill me to give a little more, as I am extremely fortunate already having plenty of food, a warm home, and loving family and friends. Why is it that when we have a lot, we still want more? This is something I'm positive everyone deals with, but has difficulty coming to terms with. There's so many things that we can live without, it all comes down to luxury versus necessity, something we've all learned in elementary school. We, humans, can either resist greed, or give into it. I have no doubt in my mind that I will be fighting it for the rest of my life.

Comment and tell me your rationale.

"Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching the satisfaction."
