Just before leaving the office a couple of us realized it would be a co-worker's birthday tomorrow. We could not find the birthday box so we had to get creative.
We work at a paper crafting company so we made some decorations with some paper, we found a couple of smalls rolls of crepe paper and a few balloons. We hung a happy birthday banner. The outcome was a simple but cute office cubicle.
The point of this was we wanted our co-worker to know we were aware of her birthday and that we cared about her. We thought to ourselves, "How would it feel to know that everyone gets their cubicles decorated for their birthdays but somehow they didn't remember you?
We are just ordinary people doing ordinary things but I think they matter. I believe in edifying people in little ways. Most of us don't have the money, skills or influence to affect thousands of people but if we each lift someone else everyday I believe it has far reaching outcomes. I'm grateful to be working with real people that really care about one another.
