And so 2017 begins

It is the first of the month, and the first of the year. 2017 seems likely to be difficult, so let’s talk about tikkun olam.


The comment thread is open for your news of repairing the world. Have you made a donation lately? Have you given your time and effort to help out somewhere? Have you found a way to be a better citizen of the world? If so, please tell us about it. And if you have plans to do something along those lines in the coming weeks, tell us about that, too. Even if it’s a little thing. Even if it’s tiny. This is a time to share good things; good does not stop being good because it is small.

Courtney I work in a credit union and I frequently waive fees for people, even if they do not ask.

All hail credit unions -- we switched from Wells Fargo to one some years ago.

Courtney Yep! Also, I was browsing through your journal on your website, and read the entry regarding the gamification app used for doing dailies and reaching goals. I downloaded it and have been using it! Thought I'd bring it up since it suits the "positive impact" theme.

Oh, excellent! It doesn't work for everybody -- some people just find it anxiety-inducing -- but for others, me included, it's a great way to motivate yourself.
