12/29/16 To-do List
There is no special way to attack this action list. If it
seems overwhelming, just do the first two items to make it easier. If you
have a little more time, do the third….and the fourth…. Or, choose items that
speak to your heart. Some people cut and paste the list, print it off and
take it with them so they can check items off while they are out and about
during the day and just waiting or driving. Others click and do items as
they work on their computer or phone. There is no right way to do
this. Just do something!
Remember, too, that many of the suggestions made on earlier days are
still doable.
Please remember that due
to all the petitions and joining we’ve been doing over the last several weeks
that we are now on many email lists for organizations that will most likely be
seeking end-of-year charitable donations.
While it may make for some less-than-desired email, please give what you
can and be tolerant knowing that these organizations do so much good on our
behalf.
