　　Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n) __50__ in our lives．Instead of always __51__ what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else．

　　Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so ____? I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only __53__ by giving to someone else from your heart．The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in __54__．So, when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive __55_．
