My brother Michael's residence called and said that Mike needed new clothes. They said they will reimburse me. I took Mike out and bought him 10 pair of socks, 7 shirts, 6 pair of underwear, 4 pair of pants, and a pair of sneakers. (Sounds like the 12 days of Christmas). I threw out his old stained and tattered clothes.
I have this urge to do a good deed everyday. It can be as simple as a smile, or holding a door open, or letting someone ahead of me in a line. The rules are that it must be a random person.
I've been lifting my eyes to meet others eyes. I was surprised at the power of a smile. Alot of people smile and say hello. There is so much unhappiness these days.

It feels good to give back. I get alot of delight by giving back. I feel as though I have alot to give.
I challenge all who read this, to do a good deed.
Live unselfishly, love others, laugh with joy, learn that love abounds, listen as your heart warms,

I, too, have an urge to spread a little kindness and compassion wherever I find myself. Like opening the door for someone. Or offering to drive my mother to church even though it means going miles out of my way. And listening to a friend who needs comforting. Making pillows for hospice patients. Every little deed is rewarding. Keep up the good work!
