Gee--we are trained so much to keep acts of service to ourselves, so that we don't appear boastful--reporting back on a public blog is difficult! But I'll give it a shot...
Mark and I bought a pie and took it to the home of a dear friend who lost her father and her father-in-law in the space of one week. Her husband died suddenly almost 3 years ago. We wished she had been home when we dropped by, but she was gone, so we left the pie with her son.
I try to greet my students with a smile and a cheerful hello, calling each of them by name as they come in the door of my classroom every morning.
Yikes! Is that all? Responding here has got me to thinking...I'm going to keep working on this challenge!

Why Another Blog?
Katie: Because I've been inspired by my friend Melissa and I have finally decided to do something about it. Because I finally believe it IS possible for me to get rid of my extra pudgy tummy. Because I'm the kind of person who feels social pressure and will do better if I know I'm reporting to all of you about what I eat and how much I weigh and what I'm doing to exercise. Because, let's be honest--I want to be skinny.
Kathy: Because I've been gradually doing the addition thing on the scale, and I'm embarrassed to admit it after working so hard to lose 30+ pounds a couple of years ago. It's time to start subtracting again, and I know it will help me to be accountable to someone besides the secret voices inside my head. I'm tickled to have Katie as a weight-loss buddy!
Katie's Goals
(half way goal) to weigh 150 pounds.
To weigh 125 pounds again (i.e. to lose 45 pounds).
To get rid of my pudgy tummy.
To fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes!
To have a healthy body.
Kathy's Goals
To maintain a healthy weight of 127 pounds (lose 24 pounds).
