I came down with a cold last week, and then a nasty virus hit the kiddo like a ton of bricks the day after she had nightmares about bad germs with pointy noses and scary teeth. Bad timing. Let's hope she comes out of this feeling like she slayed some dragons by confronting her fears (fingers crossed).
These illnesses got me to thinking about how rough it is this time of year, with all of the hacking, sneezing, coughing, and snot. So. Much. Snot. It's easy to want to curl up in a ball and forget about doing good things because we all feel like mud. Luckily, however, we live in the era of slacktivism, and there is actually a ton of good that you can do without ever leaving the comfort of your La-Z-Boy. Here's a run-down of very little effort good things you can do while you Netflix binge and blow your nose.
