1. Take my vitamins. I was really good about it in college. Lately I haven't been too good. Okay, this is boring. I'm not going to blog about vitamins and glucosamine chondroitin (although I will say it's so good if you have joint pain).

2. Be more generous. There is a really cool group on Facebook called the 365 club. When you join, you are committing to doing one random act of kindness a day for all of 2009. The group now has nearly 3,800 members already. I was the 117th person to join, and it's crazy to see how many people have joined since then. I haven't really done anything groundbreaking. I let someone go ahead of me in the checkout line at the grocery store. I prepared lasagna and put it in the fridge so my brother could just put it in the oven when he got home from work. I scraped my dancers' windshields after class. I cleaned (the kind of cleaning where you have to use your fingernail - yuck) a couple of pots and pans that my brother had used. Like I said, not anything groundbreaking, but this group has been a great reminder that I'm not the only person that exists on this Earth. It's really interesting to read what some of the other people have done. To see the group click here.

So I am torn about the 365 day deal. Obviously I think the idea of doing kind things is a good one. It could be the cynic in me but in a way does it defeat the purpose if there is a place to brag/tell about all the things someone has done?
I hear ya on the bragging/telling about portion of the program. That can definitely defeat the whole purpose. It is however very encouraging and cool to read stories of generosity. And it's a great place to get ideas. The whole thing for me has just been a gentle reminder/swift kick in the rear to constantly be looking to serve those around me. I've been much more aware of needs (both small and big) around me.
