Day 18: Send a Caring Card

Today my middle son and I made a card for a family we know that are experiencing a rough time right now with extended family. We just sent them a little note, with some stickers for their daughter, my son's idea, to let them know we were thinking of them or are here if they ever need anything. I am sending this card as part of a "Thoughtful Tree", an idea the current President of my MOMS Club came up with, to support members who are going through something difficult. If they are not in need of meals being brought, or kids being watched, or any other service the other Moms can provide she came up with having members, who want to sign up throughout the month, just send a little letter in the mail or drop something off that lets that mom and family know that they are loved and supported. It is a great idea and I am privileged to be apart of it!

I am sure they will love recieving a letter in the mail. I have been needing to send some notes of appreciation and adoration myself, seems like a great way to spend a cloudy afternoon. No time like the present to do good deeds!!!

It's almost therapeutic to sit down and hand write a note!

A Good Human Movement

My name is Angela. I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys, ages 6, 3 1/2 and 1. I am a good mom, not perfect by a long shot, but good. I am married to my high school sweetheart, we have been married for 8 happy years and been together for 12, I try to be a good wife, some days I surpass that and unfortunately others I don't quite reach it, but in general I am a good wife. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother, not all with whom I am extremely close, but all of whom I respect for their individuality and love tremendously, I am a good sister. I have a small group of friends that I could not be happier to share small adventures and activities with, I am a good friend.

I am about to be 30 and have recently found myself having a 1/3 life crisis. I feel like I am missing a piece of life that I should be focusing on. I am a good wife, mother, sister and friend. But I have found myself wondering, am I a good human? All of the things I do in my life are centered around myself and my family, which is wonderful, but I feel like I can do more. I need to help the needy, maybe my neighbors, perhaps the planet. I need to use what I am good at and help where I can. I am not trying to save the world, but I need to do my part to make it a place worth living.

I have decided to try my hand at a new idea to make this a reality. I want to put my desires and efforts down permanently so that it will be easier for me to follow through and not just talk a pretty picture. I am going to try to be a good human daily for 100 days. Being a good human can mean a million different things and I am going to try to tap into those and do 1 thing a day. For myself, I am going to start A Good Human Movement. I would love if anyone wants to join me in this movement or would like to share their ideas on what I can do.
