Just Another Manic Monday?

Manic Monday...one of my favorite tunes from 80's hit band, The Bangles and certainly one song on my weekly soundtrack of life. But this Monday I came across Debi Tenzer, a self-proclaimed "nice-o-holic"and founder of the site DoOneThingNice.com. She is turning this crazy day of self-loathing into a way to focus on getting through it by helping others. The site is motivating people to do one nice thing each Monday that helps someone else.  She builds the activity into your weekly routine making it easy to remain committed.  Most of all, I love the site's warning:

WARNING: DOING ONE NICE THING CAN BE HABIT-FORMING. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Be sure to check out the site's IDEAS page. Its complete with projects and ideas that are creative and easy.  There is even projects under a subject titled as  "Do One Nice Thing Stimulus Packages."

According to the site, here is what they have accomplished since starting the Monday tradition in 2005.

- One hundred fifty thousand pounds (that's 75 TONS) of school supplies have been sent to U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, who give them to local children so they can study.

- More than 4,000 blankets have been sent to U.S. soldiers in Iraq, who requested them for local people living without electricity or heat.

- More than10,000 hand-made cards have cheered hospitalized children in Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Memphis, Boston, St. Louis,Houston, New York, Miami, Detroit, Tucson, Richmond, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Jerusalem, Natal (South Africa),Rwanda and Baghdad.

- Thousands of breakfast bars, school supplies, toys, games and art kits have been given to needy American families.
