Wouldn't it be good if... (2)

OK, so you're wondering where the rest of the "Wouldn't it be good if" list went. Me too.
And this blog is a vain attempt at trying to get back on topic, and end up with a list of top ten survival tips.
So, here it is: "Wouldn't it be good if we could take the Angels and Mortals scheme to the next level, beyond just encouraging words."
(This was bulletin board based anonymous posting scheme where young people were paired with another to be their angel and send them regular notes and pray for them)

It struck me, if we're thinking about how to have a good day, and cope with all that something like school throws at you - rather than ask the question "How can I make my day better?", perhaps one that you could ask instead is "How could I make someone elses day better?"

Then I stumbled on a site called random acts of kindness. And in fact, as Laura's idea, we shall be exploring this on Friday nights at 628.

Now, we're not much nearer the top ten list, but this could brighten up many a day. My daughters school have been trialling something called "playground buddies" for a while now.
This involves having a designated bench where you can go if you have no-one to talk to or play with. Then a playground buddy will come and sit with you.

To go even further than the random acts of kindness is to do them anonymously (yes you will have to be quite creative not to be found out!) - then you truly are putting other people first!
