Share your latest 'Good Deed' here

Wait ... does it actually count if you announce it?

Scott--you are ALL HEART. ALL HEART. I absolutely adore you and your ability to a) be kind and loving, and b) lay it all out, being true to yourself and your feelings, whether they are good, bad, popular, unpopular, etc.

There you have it, my latest Good Deed was to repay just a smidgen of your thoughtfulness to me

That's an awesome story....many Karma points (does Karma have points?) for you....and the Blonde too for that matter.

My closest brush with goodness recently (at least I suppose it's good). We have a local public official who recently had a very public and unpleasant departure from her post. She has been in the library recently, using out cmputers to literally send out resumes. It's pretty sad. I have helped her deal with g-mail and USB drives and a few technical things....I'm torn as to whether this is really a good thing or not. I guess that on the personal level, it's a bit of kindness in a cruel world, but am I aiding in sending someone else our "damaged goods?"........Not as clear-cut as helping little old ladies across the road.

I made and took dinner to a friend whose son is in ICU... didn't even ask if she needed it.  the meal is a freezable meal so even if she didn't need it last night she can have it another time....  Just 1 less thing to have to worry about for her other children.

I put a bag over a cocoon outside so it won't get eaten by the birds. When it's finished we're taking it inside to watch it hatch. Do good deeds to animals count?  (oh, and I didn't totally suffocate the cocoon, just kind of hid it from predators - I guess it wouldn't count if I killed the thing)

I drove my friend's daughter to school because her other daughter was too sick to leave the house. That's not really a good deed though - I would do that anytime.

I donated blood last week. 

 And my boyfriend and I are letting his mother live with us temporarily until she can get back on her feet (recently divorced with medical and financial issues). 

We rented some ATV's while in Arizona last week.  I found a set of rental car keys about 20 miles from nowhere.   We were on the lookout for that model vehicle on the way back, but didn't see it.  Even tried the panic button in the trailhead parking lot.  Not having any luck locating the vehicle/owner, I returned them to the agency.  

I sure hope the renters were on a guided tour when they lost them and not out there hiking.

I helped a woman bring her bag onto the TGV.

I gave a beggar .50 Euros.

Stopped at a small town and ate lunch.  Noticed a man sit down across from me and read on his shirt that he was a band director.

When leaving I paid for his meal and told waitress to tell him I appreciate what he does

That's so cool. You probably made his week!

I helped with both of my sons' Little League baseball teams last night.

I organized a group of 13 people, including myself, to go to the Corporate Volunteer Day at The Painted Turtle on May 17th.  The Painted Turtle is a summer camp for children with life-threatening illnesses.  I lead a group of 10 people and our task was to weatherproof deck furniture and all the signs around camp.  We had 10 people and we "painted" dozens and dozens of benches, rocking chairs, tables and signs.  It was hard work but rewarding.  I was a volunteer family pal at the camp for the weekend in April and in July I'll be going back for a week as a volunteer cabin counselor during the hemophilia week.  

It feels so good to do good deeds and to hear about everyone else's good deeds.
