Life has a funny way of bouncing back what you throw at it – a boomerang effect that my parents instilled in me early on.
I know I said I wasn't going to write a blog this week so I could give full attention to our “Santa Returns” campaign delivering food and toys to needy children but this blog actually ties directly into that and I just couldn't help myself.
The idea that helping others is not just a selfless act but a remedy for the blues has been a guiding principle in my life.
This philosophy was further reinforced when I read Dale Carnegie's timeless wisdom in his classic book, "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living."
Carnegie's prescription for curing depression in 14 days revolves around being interested in others, performing daily good deeds, and finding joy in giving.
So let's explore how embracing a mindset of giving, especially through charity work, can swiftly lift our spirits and transform our lives.
The Power of Giving
Carnegie argues that to be interested in others, to love, please, and help someone, is a potent antidote to depression.
Happiness, he claims, is contagious, and the act of giving triggers a reciprocal cycle of receiving. By focusing on the well-being of others, we divert our attention from our own worries and sorrows, ushering in a renewed sense of purpose.
Charity as a Catalyst
One of the quickest ways to put this philosophy into action is by dedicating your time to a local charity.
Personally, I have witnessed the transformative power of charity events, particularly during the times I play Santa, distributing food and toys to underprivileged children.
The experience not only lifted their spirits but had an equally profound impact on my own well-being.
Breaking the Cycle
Life's challenges often lead us into a cycle of self-pity and introspection.
However, the act of giving allows us to break free from this cycle.
When engaged in charitable activities, our focus shifts from our problems to the joy of making a positive impact on someone else's life.
Suddenly, the weight on our shoulders seems lighter, and a newfound appreciation for our own blessings emerges.
A Personal Journey
For me, participating in charity events is always a great attitude adjustment with one becoming a yearly tradition, and each time I jump into the Santa suit, I am reminded of the profound effect it has on my mindset.
The mix of emotions – the joy of helping those in need, the gratitude for what I have, and the sheer happiness of giving – creates a powerful cocktail that washes away any lingering funk or negativity.
Summing it Up
In a world where it's easy to get bogged down by our own troubles, the philosophy of giving provides a refreshing perspective.
By embracing a mindset of helping others and finding joy in giving, we not only uplift those around us but also experience a positive shift in our own lives.
So, the next time you find yourself in a funk, consider making a difference in someone else's life – you might just discover the quickest remedy for shaking off the blues.
Remember, life truly is a boomerang, and what you give has a way of coming back to you in ways you might never expect.

The first time I heard about Earth Day was when I was in the eighth grade and my well admired and clever science teacher opened up a discussion on the cons of earth day stating it was some sort of liberal nonsense and a hoax. This agitated most of the class. He further stirred the pot by claiming that it didn’t matter how much pollution we caused, that the planet could take care of itself. He went on to say that the oceans were so vast and deep enough that we could go on dumping in them for hundreds of years and never have a negative impact. We could continue to let industry spew out pollutants into the air and never face any consequences. He was insistent that we could deposit waste where ever and how ever we wanted and that the earth and environment would, as if by magic, absorb it all.

Asbestos and lead-based paint – you know them well. They lurk in older schools, housing complexes, military installations and other buildings, waiting silently to inflict disease and sometimes death on their occupants. Today, asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are found in over 700,000 buildings in the United States, and loose, flaking, or peeling lead-based paint (LBP) is present in more than 72 million United States homes, schools, and other buildings constructed before 1978.

Every year damaging winds accompany hurricanes, typhoons and other strong wind events that leave a trail of destruction. Building and home owners are left with devastating huge building repairs and replacement costs. Some of these buildings can be salvaged and made stronger, defending against the next storm. Others are a complete write-off. It’s not unusual in all the destruction to see a building or house left standing with its roof and walls intact. This is usually a structure that is wind-resistant and better prepared to defend against a strong weather onslaught.
