Choices to Make This World a Better Place

This week has several options for you to make this world a better place. Choose one, or better yet, do them all!

• If you have extra coupons, give them to someone you know who needs one, or maybe take them to a senior center or other facility that assists people in need
• Offer a ride to a neighbor or maybe someone who doesn't drive. If the person has difficulty being out in the heat, offer to pick something up from the store for them
• Show your spirit and appreciation for living in the USA -- decorate your home and lawn with a patriotic theme, do something nice for someone in the armed services or for their family, visit a war memorial and leave flowers or some other memento
• Offer to take someone with you to a fireworks show or invite them to share your own pyrotechnics 
• Watch a movie such as 1776  or other patriotic movie, and invite someone to join you

It's simple this week, so see how much you can add to your journal of ways you made a difference in the world.

A few of my journal entries this week: Shared a sack of Mandarin oranges with a neighbor, shared a tasty recipe with someone, offered respite to a family whose air conditioning went out, and clipped a coupon for someone whom I know uses that particular product.
