Being the benefactor of the person in front of you buying your coffee or paying your toll brings a smile to your face and a sense that the human race, isn't, in fact, all that bad. Having someone do something for you reminds you that people are generally kind and you have value to others. When someone does something nice for other people, it says a lot about them. Being grateful says a lot about you. I used to be a very negative person. My brain developed a sense of negative self worth as a child. Though I know I was born with the capability of knowing my self worth, my environment repeatedly reinforced the opposite. My self worth came from what I did, not who I was. My sense of acceptance came from "being good." I was never clearly shown what qualified being good, so I pinged along like a pin ball in a machine acting and reacting to the feedback I got at home, at school and from peers. Living in a house with dysfunctional rules, I never got the same reaction from my actions. One day I would be rewarded for an action that the next day could get me into trouble. I had no ability to predict my outcomes, so I lived day to day trying to be this elusive thing called "good." As a young adult, I spent most of my time trying to control everything about my environment. My misguided thoughts about my value meant that I engaged with everyone the same way. I tried to read what you believe they were bad and that is why their flawed, dysfunctional wanted from me and give it parents treated them poorto you so you would like me. ly. That's a lie.

Boy Scouts Hike To Tuscan Springs And Have Big Time The first big undertaking of the newly organized Boy Scout movement in Red Bluff was attempted last Saturday. Twenty two boys between the ages of 12 and 18 under the direction of C. W. Nelson, scoutmaster, hiked to Tuscan Springs, where they explored adjacent hills. The only difficulty they encountered was lack of drinking water. — March 19, 1923
