Day 31: Plan what acts of kindness you will do in 2018. I think I’ll keep on being me. I do pretty well. Except for the forgiveness thing. I’ll keep working on that.

When I am with my people, I am there, with them. I suspect I do a reasonably good job of this because the number of people who will admit they tell me things they could never tell anyone else is quite high. But since the…
