Small Things Count

Do you have a business, family, or other blog? Use it periodically to build a better world. Maybe once a month, write something personal about what you see and feel. For example, tell how encouraged you were when you overheard a parent talking to his son about not acting like a bully. Or when you drove by a homeless mother and child and felt helpless to improve the bad economy causing the situation. Or when you visited your parent in a nursing home and saw the lonely faces of residents who never have a visitor. Or, in Sept., declare that you’ll observe the UN International Day of Peace on the 21^st by not cursing at other drivers or yelling at your teenager, and you’ll email your senator to ask for legislation promoting peace in a hot-spot of the world. A monthly blog entry isn’t much, but letting others know you believe in working toward a more just world for all may just start people thinking—and doing.
