Do Something Nice Today

October 5th is actually Do Something Nice Day, but of course I think every day should be, Do Something Nice Day, and doing so makes the world and the coming year better, so let's make today a day where we focus on being nice to others - and then continue to do so each and every day! So . . . what can we do to be nice to others? Hmmm. What about . . . 

• Getting your grandchildren and then work together to help a neighbor with snow removal work.
• Bake a batch of cookies or a loaf of bread and take it to and elderly friend or neighbor to brighten their day.
• Make cards and take them to your local fire fighters.
• Write the name of each member of your family on a piece of paper, put them in a bowl and have everyone draw a name - then have each person do something nice for the person whose name they drew! Try to do it without being caught for more fun!

These are just a few ideas of what you might do to celebrate Do Something Nice Day, and since being nice can certainly be contagious, maybe you will find every day is a Do Something Nice Day . . . which would be the nicest thing of all! Enjoy!
