For $20 a ticket, this might be the closest I'll get to seeing a real Italian opera! The showings are filmed in Italy's famed La Scala opera house.

Here are some ideas:

1. Mow a neighbor's yard when they're not home.
2. Gather up some clothes and household goods and call The Salvation Army on Monday for a pickup.
3. Clean up a public area (like a dirty toilet seat) when you encounter it.
4. Pick up trash on the ground that you didn't put there.
5. Send a card to a widow and/or include a check to help with their expenses.
6. Read a book to your child or niece/nephew.
7. Take pictures of a friend.
8. Bake a cake and take it to a neighbor you haven't met or don't know well.
9. Pray for someone who's on your mind, then send them an email to let them know.
10. Leave a note and a snack in the mailbox for your mail carrier tomorrow.

It's easy for life to be all about you. Make an effort to serve someone else. Mark a day on your calendar to do one or more of these each month.
