Where Have All the Goods Deeds Been?

Diva e blogs:

Could it be the weather? Could it be the February blahs? Could it be I just didn't fan my own flame by writing up the good deeds?

This begs the question of "what is a good deed"? Are Good Deeds so hard to define that even the infamous Wikipedia.org doesn't have a definition for them? Go ahead, check it out.

How about this:

Doing anything that benefits another person, place or thing; done with or without recognition.

That's not to say cleaning the toothpaste out of the sink, left by another, qualifies as a good deed, especially when there may be grumbling associated with scouring the sink. No, a Good Deed must spark the GOOD somewhere. A Good feeling. Yep, that's it. A Good feeling, a feeling of Good.

This deed do-er prefers anonymous deeding.
Cleaning the snow off someone's car; check.
Picking up litter; check.
Putting away multiple grocery carts; check. (Comment now posted).
Sending an anonymous valentine; check.
Sharpening all the pencils in a public area; check.
Filling the copier with paper after using; check.

So the void in blogging was just that. Not a void in Good Deeds. Whew. I started this thing and to have it go kaput so early would be a travesty.

Blogging off...
