The Endorphins of the Cycle of Goodness

 True story about my week: "To feel good, do good."

I went to Cooper Landing to take my trash to the borough transfer site. A woman saw me trying unsuccessfully to open the roll-off container's doors and came over to help.
I proceeded on to the borough organics dump site to offload a trailer load of cottonwood, spruce, and alder saplings, then drove around the site looking for firewood to scrounge. A woman saw me and came to help with one stubborn piece. Her husband said he had lots of standing beetle-killed spruce that I was welcome to.
I was in the Lowe's parking lot, pushing a cart with two large EGO battery-operated chainsaw boxes. They weren't heavy, just awkward. A man said, "Can I help you with those ?"
Bemused, I almost answered that I can do it, but instead said (with a big grin), "You know what? I'm going to make your day! Yes, you may!" He got a big laugh out of that!
"To feel good, do good." See how I made all those people happy?  

And now, if the rain holds off, I'm going to pick up litter and give my shoulders a break.
