RE: What Are You Doing For Others?
They were actually so adorable and they made it so much fun for everyone. It is one of the things that my family and I do and that has everything to do with some of my experiences in a nursing home. So, we try to do some Christmas caroling and baking cookies and bright again cards for everybody so that everybody gets at least one card. For me, gives me a sense of warmth that's their feelings are reflected back.
It is an absolute privilege enjoy to spend time with most of them. They always make it feel special.

That's awesome!! I forgot to mention, you might want to add the tag #ophumanangels, which is all about random acts of kindness.
There was this one lady who was at the nursing home I worked at, who I would still write xmas cards to after I left. She was so great. When she passed, her daughter wrote me a card to tell me and said that it mattered so much to the lady that I had kept in touch. She and her daughter, when I worked there, joined in the knitting club I started where we knitted squares to make a blanket for afghans4Afghans, and then I sewed it together at the end. She was the only resident who stuck with it. I have a picture somewhere of her, me, and one of the CNAs who also contribited, holding the finished blanket.
I hardly write about these gestures, although I love doing them.
But, your afghans 4Afghans sounds like an amazing club and I raise my glass to you! How wonderful and you must have really inspired her for her to continue! Everyone needs a reason to continue.
May God Bless you richly!

When the OHA tag was really active, it became like a ripple of kindness - everyone's posts would inspire others to do similar acts, then they would post, which would inspire others. That's why I love it. Plus I just love reading about everybody's ops. :)
I can see the thoughts behind it. ;)
And thanks for the tip! :)
My pleasure~
