When you log your progress, you only need to log as many – or as few – days as are applicable.)_

    I donated a bag of canned goods to our local food pantry. Our family sometimes gets caught up in the thought that times are tough for us right now… We often forget that things could be worse.

    I’m trying to teach my daughter that being kind is something we should do for everyone, even if we never meet those that we’ve helped.

    A colleague of mine and I teach our students to crochet and knit. We then make premie blankets for our local Children’s Hospital. Currently we are making ornaments to sell and sponsor a child for Christmas with the profits. What a great feeling to turn a hobby into something nice for the community.

    Every week on my days off, I volunteer at a local museum that makes me feel good to be helping out.

    I paid for a stranger’s train ticket on Friday. He was already on the train and realized he didn’t have any money. The cost to me was only $9, but the reward was an incredible feeling of good will. He wanted my name so he could pay me back, but I told him I hadn’t done it with that expectation. I asked him instead to “pay it forward” some day.

    I donate money to our church for the homeless. Doing something even if it’s small always makes me feel good about myself, and it reflects how people see you as a person.

    I have always volunteered at Nursing Homes, but this year (2008) I plan to reach out more to the community. I know that I have talents to share, and I will do so willingly.
