All But December

I have been really bad about blogging in general lately, but especially keeping up with blogging about what I have been doing to keep my New Years Resolution this year. So... what month did I leave off with anyways?!

Resolutions 4-6 can be found here, leaving us with the month of July.

July I cheated and did something that I had already done. While at Target, I let the people behind me go ahead in line. I, once again, had a cart full, and they only had 1 item. I wasn't in a hurry, and it didn't seem fair to make them wait for me and all my crap when they could be done paying by the time I unloaded said crap.

August I took the easy way out again, and donated to a charity. It wasn't much, but every little bit counts and helps, and it was what I could do at the time.

September showed me that getting Pumpkin involved in my resolutions really was paying off. It got pretty darn chilly for a couple days here. There was a construction crew building a house 2 doors down from us and Pumpkin said that we should make them some cookies like we did that one time! YAY! Even my 5-year-old can pick up that doing nice things for others is a good thing! Proud moment for me :)

October went by in a blur, but I did manage to still keep my resolution! M signed us me up to work at Pumpkin's school carnival. I was in charge of this duck game. The kids picked a duck and if it had an X on the bottom, they got a prize, if it didn't they got candy. Well there was this little boy, too young to even go to school, and he wanted to play so bad but didn't have the 1 ticket required. SO, I threw in one of the tickets that Pumpkin had and let the little boy play. Then I cheated and let him pick out a prize when his duck didn't have an X on the bottom.

November also has flown by, but there are more opportunities to do good deeds presenting themselves. People trying to get ready for Christmas, the bell ringers outside stores, 'tis the season and all that. I helped a little old lady find some horseradish in the grocery store. She really was little, and old, and super cute and sweet. She was looking for the horseradish and I heard her saying that she really needed some but couldn't find it. I had actually just passed it myself, so I took her to where it was. She was so thankful for that little gesture. It made me feel good to help her out.

Have you been doing anything for others? Do you find it easier in the "holiday" season?
