Act #7: Took cookies and a thank you card to our dry cleaner. She is really the sweetest woman in the world and always has a kind word for Scotty.
Act #8: Sent a thank you card to the Newtown Police Department
Act #9: Sent a sympathy card to the teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School, along with a thank you for being heroes
Act #10: Left cookies and a thank you note for our mail lady
Act #11: Brought (well, bringing - it hasn't happened yet) flowers to the receptionist at Scotty's school. She is the one that has to (wo)man the door for all visitors, and I'd have to imagine the last several days for her have been stressful.

If you are participating in #26Acts, drop me a line and let me know what you are doing! I'd love to report on those who want to participate. Email me at [email protected] and I'll post your responses.
And not surprisingly...26 is a HUGE number. I'm having trouble coming up with more acts of kindness. To think each act reflects each person who lost their life...well, it's just staggering. Heartbreaking.
More acts coming tomorrow.
