Do Good December 2021

The Do Good December 2021 calendar from the folks at Action for Happiness has daily actions to help us be kind to each other.  They say, "This month, we're encouraging you to carry out small acts of kindness.  This has been another difficult year of uncertainty and ups and downs for many of us.  Kindness is contagious, and helping others has been proven to make us feel better too!  Let's try to focus on being generous with our time and attention rather than money.  It's free and better for everyone, as well as our planet!"
