I Dare You -365 days of "good deeds' Just Because... Easy Peasy...

I've read so many post regarding the expectations for the next year.  I've read about resolutions, non-resolutions.  I've read about how we should not buy into the consumerism of every typical year, when the new ads come out and are advertising for organizing containers.  I have read about challenges about how we should make it different next year about that.  I'm wondering how if we make these promises, 12 months in advance will we still stick to this lack of consumerism.  This year, for the first time, I was able to get a part time job to buy our Christmas in cash, and not go over board.  Not buy too many electronics, too many things.  I was not enticed to buy more holiday products to make a more glittery holiday season this year.  This year I was left with the feeling that we had achieved our goal of not putting anything on credit, and because of that we didn't go overboard on the gifts.  Sure, we had one child find the "truth" about Santa, and that was a little bit hard to take, after all, she is my third of four.  But ultimately, we did pretty well, and we didn't fall in the consumerism of the past years.  I know many, many families who didn't fall into the prey of that this year, and so the ads for additional storage items did not tempt them into further purchases.  A few years ago, I did fall prey to the ornament separators of the holiday ornaments.  I coveted, I mean really COVETED those containers for no less than four years before I finally succumbed.  Actually, it saved us quite a number of ancient, old ornaments, and so I'm glad for those flimsy cardboard separators. 

However, this year I am challenging my daughters and even my friends to do a good deed every day.  This doesn't count if it's making your own  bed.  It does count if it's helping someone with an extra project.  Or walking someone to their car with their groceries... I am challenging my children to make one difference to someone's life every day.  Not something like making your bed -- that surely doesn't count -- that's a given... Neither does shaving your legs... putting the trash out... But things that are for someone else just because it's something nice to do for someone else, and it make their life a tiny bit easier..  And the  key to this deed -- is you cannot tell anyone what the deed is.  You must admit that you did something, but you cannot tell details -- unless they are so special that you cannot stand it, in which case -- please share. 

So, I dare you -- one good deed a day... it's only 365 of them... What's say you?
