one good deed a day

So like I said, I started my good deed project. And so far it has been a fairly smooth journey. Im thoroughly enjoying everyone who is also following along with me.

The deeds so far have been as follows:

Day 1 - Smile at a Stranger.
Have you met me? Mission accomplished! I decided to up the ante and smile at everyone in the grocery store and also say good afternoon. For the most part it was well received, though some people just avoided eye contact.

Day 2 - Become an Organ Donor.
Disappointed. I was already an organ donor, but after a discussion with Joshua and an email with the Trillium Gift of Life Network that deals with the transplanting of organs, I learned that because I have slept with a man I am considered to be in the same category as IV drug users and those who are frequently incarcerated....Yeah, I wasnt too happy about that either.

Day 3 - Add Money to an Expired Meter.
Check! Thanks to Joshua going into town for me! Talk about true love!

Day 4 - Talk About What You're Grateful For.
I told Joshua how much he means to me and I let my family and friends how grateful I am for them. I also am very grateful for the life I have.

Day 5 - Pick Up Some Trash.
This one I try to do on a regular basis as well, but I decided to focus on Skeleton Park by Joshua's neighbourhood and take the time to pick up some trash around there.

So far its been fun and rewarding! I hope the ripple effect is working.

Let me know in the comments below

Heeeeeere's Johnny...rather Jason.

I'm Back! Welcome me!

I know that it has been a while and as per usual I have no excuse, but life.

Quick update: still employed with the government, Joshua and I are madly in love, family is well, and though I still have my lows, life if pretty freakin' sweet.

Im excited to be back, and what better day to start than the day before my birthday.

I purchased a new book to talk about.

It's a Journal that I got on sale! Holla! It's called "One Good Deed A Day" by A BUNCH of people. It was basically created by a pile of people who want the word to be a better place. Each page has a deed to do; whether its for a stranger, someone you know, or maybe just taking a well deserved good deed for yourself.

Starting tomorrow, I will open the book to the first page and perform each deed in order. I will write the date that I completed the deed (hopefully daily) and write a reflection on what I did, who I helped, and/or how I felt. I will also be posting daily on my facebook page to get the deed out there and hoping that friends and followers will take charge and bring positivity to the world.

The opening page says, kindness is contagious. So I ask, will you catch what I have?
