Since everyone knows Santa is readying his sleigh and counting up the "nice" side of his list, I thought I should tell you that being nice is the thing this year.
Many have no resources except their will and effort. If we all make a resolve to do one Random Act of Kindness each day from now until Christmas day, we will have created a new habit that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
Random Acts of Kindness are little kindnesses to which you expect no response. Open a door for someone, share a smile, carry a box, let someone in a hurry cut in front of you and give them a smile.
It's contagious and we all benefit in the end.
So...go for it...just one a day...and no apples needed!
Good Luck!
