Weekly Challenge: I hope everyone did well on the sit-ups challenge.  This week the challenge will be to complete a Random Act of Kindness each day.  The “rules” are that it has to be something over and above what you would normally do and that you need to do it anonymously.  If someone finds out it was you, it doesn’t count and you have to do another one.
