If you haven't already downloaded the December 2019 "Action for Happiness" calendar, it's not too late! Get your copy at www.actionforhappiness.org
This month's message is #DoGoodDecember and there's a wonderful quote from Desmond Tutu: "Do your little bit of good where you are; those little bits together overwhelm the world." Think about that for a second. Whether you drop some change into the Salvation Army buckets or use recyclable bags when you do your grocery shopping or donate your time and/or treasure to a local food bank or homeless shelter, you're doing your part.

Goodwill Towards Men
"Every good act is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows." -- Moliere

I've been investigating charities that the girls and I can get involved in and have come across a couple that sound promising. We've always done the Angel Tree at the holidays or Toys for Tots, I donate blood, we donate our used clothing/household items to the Salvation Army or Hannah Home and I always support friends/family in "Thons" (i.e., walk-a-thons, marathons, etc.). And of course, I also support the Girls Scouts by purchasing as many boxes of Thin Mints and Do-Si-Dos as I possibly can afford. But those things really don't require much effort and sometimes leave me empty. I feel like all I did was shop and throw a couple of extra items in my grocery cart. I'd like to get more involved and I'd like to find something that I'm passionate about or "good at" (reading, helping children in need). KJ & I are very sensitive and very emotional and I don't think either one of us can handle one-on-one volunteer time at a local homeless shelter or hospital. Or a animal clinic. She'd want to bring home all the dogs.
