SS Blog Challenge #18: Change the World!

This challenge was brought to us by MandaPanda!

With all the issues going on in the world today, earthquakes, tornados, tsunamis, etc., I thought it would be nice to take some time to take a look at the bigger picture. This weeks challenge? Blog a list of 30 things you can do in 30 seconds each to change the world.

Here are my 30 things, thought of on the spot and in no particular order:
1. Pray
2. Hug and kiss my kids and Scot!
3. Listen
4. Hug a friend
5. Send a one sentence e-mail to tell someone I'm thinking of them
6. Call my Na-na (the conversation won't last for just 30 seconds, but making the call takes just a few!)
