Buddhist Saying: If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your own path.

I found this saying and I thought it said quite a bit for one sentence.  When you do things for others, it makes them feel good and makes you feel good as well.  When I  decided to pare down some of the "stuff" of my existence, I initially had planned to put items up for sale.  Well, that didn't work out as planned and I ended up giving the items away.  The satisfaction I felt and the genuine appreciation on the face of the woman who ended up with the bed, as we helped her tie the mattresses down on her car roof, or the couple who took the sleepersofa.  The woman thanking me again as we helped to squeeze the sofa into her car. It's just a good feeling to do something for others, and it need not be something as big as a sleeper sofa, but can be something as small as a smile.
