Good Deed December

I just decided today to do this.

Every day for the month of December, I'm going to do one nice thing for someone, a good deed if you will.

One day, I might tell someone they dropped their wallet (only if they really did, of course). Another, I might volunteer somewhere. The deed may not be huge, but the key part of this challenge, for myself, is that whatever I do, it will be something that I wasn't required to do. It will be something that I did just because I wanted to, or maybe I didn't want to, but someone needed me to.

After all, it's the season of giving, right?

Today I did one nice thing and one sort of nice thing.

Nice thing: I made dinner (Chicken Tacos) for my roommates (this was actually a collaborative effort, but I bought most of the ingredients.

Sort of nice thing: Instead of leaving early for my meeting today and shopping downtown with money I don't have, I waited around for one of my roommates' mattress to be delivered so I could sign for it. It probably would have made it here anyway, but he was worried since he leaves for vacation tomorrow and I wanted him not to worry.

If you decide to participate in this challenge too, let me know and I'll link to your good deed when I post about mine each day.

Happy December!
