DIAMONDS . . .

I know these two really, really great guys, Jims and SpiderBat. Why are they so great? Because every time they come over for a social event, and every time garbage piles up in my garbage can as a result, they, without asking, remove the garbage at the end of the evening and take it out to the Dumpster with them when they leave.

Such a small act, but so huge. It's more than just relieving me of the mess and stank and nominal labor of taking out the trash myself. It's making my life just a tiny bit easier, giving me one less miniscule thing to dwell my tired mind upon, offering one not insignificant way to share a burden.

Minor kindness, multiplied several times over, equals major heart.
