i just watched a heart-warming episode of desperate hsewives. and it revolves on how a handyman (the namesake) touches the lives of the ladies of Wisteria Lane. in the real world we usually dont even knw the names of our plumber, the grocery store owner, the nice petrol bunk guy who cleans my windows everytime i refill and all those seemingly unimportant ppl who do us little favors. wasnt there a saying that goes "its the small things that matter"? but no. afterall they're doin their job rite? we pay them n thats it. human relationships are coined in terms of currencies these days.

and isnt it amazing how being there for someone during a crucial point in their live, just saying a few nice things or just sitting dwn with them can go a long way in helping them deal with their situation. for the person in dilemma its like a sign from God. imagine u ran out n cash n are really hungry. and your friends treat u to lunch knowing that ur short of cash n ur too embarassed to ask. or a friend who buys u a present just coz she knws ur sad. or ur gfs holding ur back n trashing ur ex to make u feel betta and boost ur esteem. these are the things that bond ppl and ultimately its these bonds are what moves your life forward when the going gets tough.

so from now on im gonna smile n thank every waiter, petrol boy, plumber, ice-cream man, gradeners that work for me and maybe throw in a few words in good spirit. u never knw when u might be making a difference in someones life. and isnt that y i took up psychology in the first place? ;)
