do good deeds


Pam101 feels as if she is a good person.
I do good deeds.
I give back to the community.
I say please and thank you.
We need more people like me in the world.

And as a good person, I am always looking for ways to do more.
Which is why I ripped this little article out of my Aunt Bev's Good Housekeeping. 
It was titled, "50 Simple Acts of Kindness: 50 easy, affordable ways to give- and get- joy." 

Here were some of my fave ideas:
  • Shower the pediatric wing of a hospital with $1.00 coloring books and boxes of inexpensive crayons. 
  •  Pay the toll for the person behind you. 
  • Carry someone's groceries.
  • Arrange to pay anonymously for a soldiers meal when you see him or her dining alone.
  • Send valentines in August.
  • Load extra change into the vending machine.
  • Leave a copy of a book you love with a note for the next reader on your mode of public transportation. 
You don't have to do any of these things...but try to do something. 
Give back.
Bring joy to others.
If nothing else...
Just smile and wish those that past you a super great extra wonderful day.
