WARNING: What you are about to read may sound a little questionable in its context.
But if you bear with me, you'll see.
Just imagine this!
I decided to do it today.
I mean, I normally do it when it's around my house, on my street or next to my car.
Where no one can really notice, but I actually decided to do it in public, where people might look at me and think; "Eeewwww, how gross, I can't believe she just did that."

Alright you guys! What's this blog on again?
Get your mind out of the gutter. (Pun intended)

I was talking about picking up a piece of litter that is not mine.
Whether it's in front of where I live or in a public place, like a super market or bank parking lot, where people might see me doing it and think, that's odd.
See how you are?
Focus, people, focus.

Geezzz, some people's children.
I admit that I was embarrassed because I thought if someone sees me picking up a piece of trash that isn't mine than what will they think?
I don't know why I think that way.
Maybe it's because we have grown accustomed to "Maintenance People" cleaning up and picking up after the world, so we don't have to worry about the other guy's trash on the ground.
After all, someone who gets paid will pick it up. I just need to be concerned with my own and I am doing my part by throwing mine in the garbage can.
It's kind of ironic, because we often want to get caught in the act doing something good and being the hero, but to me, picking up trash, wouldn't put me in a beholdin' place in anyone's eyes.

So just do it! Pick up a piece of trash that's not yours, I mean.
Start picking up one piece of trash that you see on the ground each and every day, that is not just yours, just one piece of trash, why, that can make a difference.
So, besides throwing your own garbage in the garbage, be a nice guy/gal and pick up a piece of litter that someone else might have neglected to make a slam-dunk with.
(And be sure to keep some pop-up wipes in the car or hand sanitizer.)
OK enough already!
