A few weeks ago over dinner the big, bad husband and I had a discussion about how the world could potentially be a much better place if each person did something nice for someone else each day. Something outside of themself. Something that pushed them to think about someone else's needs above their own. This may sound very tree-hugging, hippie-ish, but it's really not. We're just going to see what happens to us and the world around us by trying to do good things for other people.
We decided to challenge each other to do just that. It probably should have been a New Year's resolution, but we didn't talk about it until a few weeks in. It makes sense to me to start it with the beginning of the next month (not that we haven't done nice, kind things since then but we're just documenting it now). The things don't have to be large. We're not trying to save the world. We just want to force ourselves to stop being so selfish.
So tomorrow we're going to start being nice.
