Being nice and considerate to one another doesn't cost a dime and yet is more
valuable than most gifts one receives. A smile, and yes even a phone call can
do wonders for someone's self-worth. To be appreciated, to be missed means a
lot to me and all of us and especially those feeling kind of down and alone.
Sounds like a good idea.

I think that phone chain idea is great. A friend of the family has been
sitting for months waiting for a hip replacement. She called me the other day
with a raspy voice from dehydration because she hadn't been drinking. She
wanted to limit trips to the bathroom. It was a shock to hear that. She
should have been in a hospital, getting adequate food, drink and assistance. I
got my mom to call her, my mom called her family, and now she's in the
hospital- AND she has a pressure sore. She could have wasted away to nothing
if my mom didn't call her family. She's very stubborn AND doesn't have enough
support.

act of kindness, once a month, once a week, once a day. Think of the effect on
your fellow mankind. Random acts of kindness, can be so rewarding. Can you
imagine holding a door open for a TAB, and smiling? Perhaps, a peer counselor.
There are always a need. Stuck at home? Start a telephone chain. Once a
day. Once a week, you just call and say hi. You call just to make sure the
person is ok. It doesn't hurt, and seldom costs.
Help out at your local elementary school. Teach a kid to read. Teach a kid
to add and subtract. Who knows, ya might be teaching a future President.
A Happy New Year, don't have to be prosperous if you are healthy.

I'm trying to make some good New Year's Resolutions for 2007 and I was
wondering what everyone else is planning to do? We all know the standard
resolutions such as eating healthy and exercising more but I wanted to see if
there were any creative ideas out there. What's new for you in 2007?
Hope you have a Happy Holiday and a Healthy New Year!
