How much will you care this Holiday Season?

Recently in Soar classes we discussed how each of us cares about our family, friends, school and community.  This has gotten me thinking about how can I show my family, friends, school and community that I care this holiday season.  So, I have created a list of things to care about and do over the next month.  It is in no particular order.

CARING about Family, Friends, School & Community

1. Listen more, talk less.
2. Help out.
3. Collect food for the Oregon Food Bank.
4. Exercise to reduce stress, create energy and to watch my calories.
5. Call friends who don't have family close by.
6. Enjoy traditions.  Start new traditions.
7. Read a book.
8. Give homemade gifts.
9. Have fun. Smile.
10. Take pictures.

What's on your list for Caring about family, friends, school and community?

Have a wonderful, caring Thanksgiving!
