The 24 Hour Pledge

Before I start, I have something I want to show you.

Isn't it cute!?  I got it from my daughter!  She spent some of her birthday money and surprised me with it.  (I love Hello Kitty.  I have a Hello Kitty purse, wallet, etc.  She wanted my to clip it to my purse, which I did, of course.)  


Why did I share that with you?  Well, other than the fact that it's adorable (did I mention how much I love Hello Kitty?) - and I was tickled pink that my daughter bought it for me - it shows one thing:  when you try to make other people feel better and you make a conscious effort to brighten their day, it is returned to you.


So this brings me to today's topic:  The 24 Hour Pledge.


To be honest, I'll work to find a better name for it, but basically it comes down to this:


I'm not a politician.  I'm not rich.  I don't have media influence or celebrity status; but there is one thing I can do - for the next 24 hours, I can pledge to make my little corner of the universe a better place.


I can send a card, share a hug, smile at strangers, mow someone's lawn, babysit for a single parent or do any number of things.


Will you join me?


I hope you will.  I hope you'll post a comment on the blog saying you will join me.  I also hope you'll post about what you did in your little corner of the universe as a comment.


If everyone works on their own little corner of the universe.....pretty soon the corners become neighborhoods, then streets, then communities, then countries.....and finally, the world.
