prompts for october 2026

What’s one nice thing you’ve said or done this week?

For years when my three older kids were young, on their way out the door or as I dropped them off at school I’d say “do something nice for someone today”. It seems I need to take my own advice as I’m having a hard time coming up with an answer to today’s prompt.

Can I count the fact that I appeared to be pleased when I found out my in-laws would be coming up to stay for several days?

I’m kiddddddding.

Okay let me really think about this. I do try and compliment people each day. Of course I hold the door for the person coming in behind me, even if they’re a distance away, I just can’t let the door slam on someone.

I did take out cash at the atm at work on Friday to support a fundraiser for one of the other departments.

This afternoon I’m dropping off two bags of clothes to the shelter. But also, I’m going to ask them while I’m there if someone can give me a tour and explain the programs and services they offer. As a potential city councillor I need to know about such things.

So I’m giving, but I’m also taking.
