H
ow might the world look if each of our hearts was filled with these three qualities? It seems to me that it’s during the December holidays when we come clos-
est to this ideal. Someone recently told me that the edges of the world are softer at this time of year. And for all its hustle and bustle, there is a lightness, a hope that stirs in our collective heart for a better world. You’ve heard it often said that change begins with you. What small thing could
you do to make the world a better place? So often people think of big things, larger than life things, grand plans and dreams. Big things have their place, but we all know it’s the little things that often matter most. Can’t think of what you can do? Too tired or depressed to extend the energy?
That’s OK. Just sit back and read this list. Feel free to do any that speak to you. Better yet, when you have the time and energy, create your own list. • Write a letter • Call someone • Consider adopting a pet • Spend 10 minutes a day cleaning out one drawer or closet at a time and donate what you don’t need
• Take a scenic drive • Go to a museum • Feel your heart beating for one minute, imagine your heart filled with love and extend that to another
