Great question. I'm a complete dweeb when it comes to puzzles (I do love crosswords, though). I was thinking about assigning a value to an entry in the Kindness Passbook and a different value to 'dividend' entries. I was wondering if there would be a way to show some compounding of interest, based on those entries, so you could change out the numbers and end up with different results. That's a terrible explanation, but something like an interest calculator....
Anyway, totally way off the mark, but there you have it haha!
You are so clever, Heather. I love this whole idea. I, for one, will probably not be writing in a kindness passbook, but at the end of each day, lying in bed, I do count the moments of kindness given and received during the day. It helps me feel part of a special community of people who care about each other and I sleep better. You sparked a memory of the savings passbooks we had at elementary school. Once a week, the teacher brought out the shoebox full of passbooks in their little envelopes and we children would read our updated accounts and put money in the envelope to be added to our accounts. I rarely had more than one little dime to add to my envelope, but I was learning good habits. I had forgotten all about that until just now. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Mitchell! I didn't know you could create a background image in Excel. What a great idea! Maybe you could turn it into a puzzle!

Yes, exactly. In fact I thought the Kindness Oassbook would be an awesome learning tool for kids.💚

What a great idea to think about kindnesses each evening. I'm going to try that.
Maybe there's a story in there about your savings passbook.....📕💚
Neat idea, Heather! I do remember my savings account passbook, from the old days, LOL.
I wish I'd saved mine - good memories!
It had a lot of zero balances in those days, LOL
Haha!
