Good Deeds
We should compile a list of good deeds here and make sure that we all perform at least one of them daily to someone who isn't feeling at their best.
Good deeds I can think of:
- complimenting someone on how they look or dressed today.
- smile or laugh at something not particularily funny.
- say something nice about someone behind their back.
- send me money.

There are lots of good deeds you can do each day.
I think just smiling at people and opening a door for them is a good deed.
If the person in front of you in only a couple of dollars short on their purchase, offer to pay for it rather than them having to put something back.
When you drive, let a person on the road who is trying to get in but the traffic is heavy.
Those are just a few of daily things you can do which are easy.

Now there's a sure way to make someone feel 'good deeded'!

Tires are easily replaced, body work is a little more involved.

Offer to go shopping for an elderly person.
Send someone flowers just because with no expectations
Call your mother and tell her you love her
