Today, I practiced part of the purpose of my existence. I had learned that a friend's fence hand been damaged, and I'm at least somewhat handy with tools, so I volunteered to help him fix it. It felt good to be able to lend him a hand and my experience, and I'm glad we were able to get the fence fixed to everyone's satisfaction. But more especially at the moment, I'm glad that I learned, fairly early on in my life, that at least part of my purpose is to help others. That helps motivate me to lend a hand as often as I do, and it helps me feel less "put upon" when called upon to do so. I'm happy to help. After all, as I sometimes say, that's what I'm here for. I exist, at least partly, to help others. So I do.
