Weekly Goal #3 - A Random Act of Kindness

Sorry for the hiatus; our little guy ended up having surgery in Salt Lake City and we spent four days out of town.  We're now home, and our son is doing well.

As a result, I had little time to reach out to my neighbors.  In retrospect, planning this goal during a week with surgery was probably not the smartest thing to do.  However, we did find ourselves on the other end with having our neighbors reach out with well wishes and concern during these past few days.  It's taught me that part of being a good neighbor is allowing others to help you :)

Now, on to this week and its goal.  The goal for this week is to perform a random act of kindness.  To do something nice when no one is looking, not expecting recognition or praise for your action. 

Oftentimes, some of the most important work is done by those working quietly behind the scenes who know what needs to be done and are willing to do it without fanfare or fuss.  This is what I challenge you to do this week - to look carefully around you, spot a need or concern, then step in and help anonymously.  While you might miss out on the accolades of others, you will feel a quiet satisfaction in doing your part to make a difference.
