On a school trip I helped my friend make his bed because I saw he was struggling.

My good deed for today is to post this lovely story & hope you enjoy it (adapted from "The Star Thrower" by Loren Eiseley, 1907-1977): "At night I walked along the shore where so many spend the day gathering shells for their collections. A woman walked among the starfishes that waves and tide had stranded on the beach, picking up each tenderly and casting it out to sea. I caught up to her and asked, 'With so many millions left dying along these sands night after night after night, what difference can you possibly make?' She scooped up another and arched it high over the water. 'I made a difference for that one.' Silently I sought and picked up a still-living star, spinning it far out into the waves."

A good deed was done to me today: the accountants that I hired for my small business were being really incompetent and a bunch of idiots whose mistake would have seriously caused some cash problems, and was causing some stress. A friend, who is a qualified accountant herself, offered to help out and talk to the taxman on my behalf in spite of her busy schedule. Because of what she did, I am now able to go back to my accountants to sort the matter out and am able to get back to work with confidence and peace of mind again.

A lipstick fell out of a lady's handbag as she was getting up to get off the train, so I picked it up and handed it to her.

I was in the cheese section of the supermarket and an elderly lady asked me where the Philadelphia cream cheese was. As there are so many varieties, I thought it best to take her there and help her make her selection.

My girlfriend likes to write about how to have a healthier life. She has not too much time to publish it so I bought her a domain name, hosting and set up her website ... oh and also published her work. She's really happy with it ... hopefully this website help her a little with her financial problems.

Today, an older lady was having difficulty putting her groceries in her trunk. I asked her if I could help her and she was pleased to get the help. She thanked me very much, said 'there's still hope for this world', I smiled, told her she was welcome, and I went on my way.
