TommyLog – Just a Simple Hug @homedepot

TommyLog – Just a Simple Hug @homedepot

Went to Home Depot to get a second load of mulch for a landscaping project this past weekend. Met a super nice guy named Israel. he offered to help me load the mulch in the back of my car. While doing that, another co-worker came to say hello. I introduced myself and said Hi my name is Tommy. He greeted me with the biggest smile and said Hi I’m Andrew. After shaking his hand, he held his arms out as wide as could be and asked if he could give me a hug. You bet I gave him a hug. It was so awesome!!!

Andrew was a special needs young adult and he just warmed my heart. Thank you @homedepot for hiring such an amazing person and letting him shine! our grand Chute location is so better off with him on the payroll!!

TommyLog – The Power of a Hallmark Card

TommyLog  – The Power of a Hallmark Card

My wife and I have this mini tradition for special holidays and events, we leave cards around the house to each of us to find. Becky and the kids are out of town and she hid cards for house for me to find.

The simple act of sending a card has so much power!

TommyLog – Small Things make the Biggest Difference

I have had this recurring whining with my power steering in my 2008 Honda Accord. After some good Google research, I found a self help video on how the power steering problem is caused by air getting into the lines. Digging deeper I found a Honda tech note on how the intake line may have a bad o-ring. After purchasing a 15 cent o-ring on a Honda parts website as well as $4.95 shipping, a trip to my buddy Sean’s house for some TLC, the problem was fixed.

Who would of thought that such a whine and racket could be fixed by a small, simple 15 cent part. Sometimes the smallest little things can make the biggest difference in the lives of others. Think about a smile, handshake, simple I Love you or card. Take a look around you and see what a difference you can make.
