I love this post, Lori. This is something we should think about every day.

Cathy - great comment about a simple smile being a way to do good. We were talking about this at church the other day, that no one seems to actually look at each other anymore, at least, not strangers. I've been making it a point to look a people in the eye and smile. As you said, you never know what someone else is dealing with.

I'm totally putting the countertop compost keeper on my Christmas list!

A few years back, someone I know very well boasted about being "green" when a few feet away (in their home) sat a big carton of brand new plastic water bottles. Riiiight.

In my post today, I said 9/11 is our Pearl Harbor. It was a long time before I went to the Pearl Harbor Memorial, even though I visited Hawaii every year. I probably only went then because a friend wanted to see it. I have not seen the 9/11 Memorial. They are difficult for me. My thoughts and prayers to all those touched by 9/11.

I like the idea of do good Tuesday. As you know, I am addicted to walking 60 miles in 3 days to raise money for research for a cure for cancer. As I always say, I can't walk away.

I am a nut about recycling, too. I was a supervisor of Volunteer San Diego and need to find something similar here in Boise.

A simple do good that takes very little - smile and be pleasant to someone - even (maybe especially) that person who is not so friendly. You never know what's going on in his or her life.
