My life will be better because of it. Take care and stay strong.

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. Dillon kaye allard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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.

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.

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?
