Challenge

Something I heard on the radio today as I drove home from work.

"In the next few days, (this should be the rule, not the exception IMHO), do something, a gesture, some kind words, a compliment, SOMETHING tangible and real for another person or people."

I don't mean your SO, child, lover, dog, etc. I mean to or for a complete stranger or group of people you do not know.

It could mean at work go out of your way to research something and go the extra mile. How about baking something nice and delivering it to the folks that have to work at fast food places that stay open during Christmas Eve/Day?

Fred and I are going to see if we can go to Wissota Springs (the retirement home that his Mom lived at for a few months) and bring Molly and Brody, just to visit and let the folks there pet a dog.

How about letting someone get that primo parking spot you were waiting for? Or, simply trying to go a half day without complaining about anything, and being thankful you are even breathing!

I wonder about the power in lots and lots of people being positive and doing some kind deeds. Can you imagine....maybe 30 people who read my blog...and they all make a commitment to doing this for a couple of days?

Could it be contagious?

After all is said and done, comment to me if you please...let me know what you did, and how it was received and more to the point...did you ask others to follow in kind?
