Let me explain… My intentions were good lol… in other words I didn’t complete the entire 32 acts of service, maybe 50%, maybe 30%. I can come up with a plethora of excuses, but I’ll spare you this time with sharing 5/32 acts of service…Anymore than 5 is beyond my attention span right now.

 

#3 Hand out study guides to students (knowledge is power)

 

Remember those plastic, colorful quick facts study sheets? I swiped them from a bookstore I used to work in while I was in college. They were 5 bucks a sheet! Just call me Peter Pan. I actually compiled a pretty elaborate study guide at the time. What I did this year was photo copy, package, then gave them to my middle an high school clients at work. See, I’m not so bad.

 

#11 Tip a grocery store bagger

 

Whenever I’m in a grocery store that provides baggers I always tip them, well when they are able to accept tips. In Bermuda that’s how tweens make a little money and learn some responsibility. They’re not on a payroll but they are hired by grocery stores to maintain a work schedule, pack bags and they keep their tips. Sounds pretty simple, but not in our sue nation.

 

#19 Plant a tree

 

So it wasn’t a tree, but I planted some green peppers! Talk about stoked!!! I planted them at the beginning of June and they are looking like stellar students, progressing quite nicely!

 

#12 Compliment at least 5 people

 

I’m not easily impressed, but I don’t have any issues giving out compliments. I honestly haven’t taken notes or recorded how often I complimented people because I just don’t find it necessary if it happens regularly.

 

#2 Call older family members to see if they need anything

 

I try to make a significant effort, even if it’s only once per month, to dry through and see if my older aunt need to go to the grocery store or simply just to sit and keep her company. I haven’t visited her in a while and the other day she called me. I thought she wanted something but she just called to say hi! #mydaywasmade
