Thoughts on Acts of Good

I've been thinking a lot about my Acts of Good project, which has lasted more than a hundred days so far. Sometimes, it seems like I'm trying to find them and make up an excuse for what I could write as one, but when I think back to when I thought of this project on January 1st of this year, that wasn't my original objective at all. I wanted these acts to be from my heart, and I wanted this blog to chronicle those acts.
However, this project has evolved and strayed from its original purpose. I didn't think that this blog would end up being a long list of simple things I've done. I realized that even without this project, I would still do the things that I do every day that are good. I would still try to compost, recycle, and be kind to people.

If I accomplish something good that's worthy of writing, I will write it, but this is the end of the project. The Acts of Good project as we know it is over.

With that said, this blog will continue to serve its original purpose and also allow me a place to write about things I want to write about instead of a meaningless list. 

I really think that this is the best step for me to take now. I'm ready for a new start and a new approach.

Act of Good #105

I smiled and said hello to an old man at tennis today. He seemed to appreciate that. :)

Acts of Good #96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, and 104!

Note: I'll try to keep more up-to-date in the future, but I've been really busy recently with make-up work, Script Frenzy (if you haven't heard of it, look it up!), etc.

April 4: helped tidy up some things and sent birthday greetings to an old friend
April 5: my leg started feeling really sore abruptly today, so I couldn't fully participate in gym, but I tried to cheer on as many people as possible while playing kickball
April 6: composted stuff!
April 7: I helped around the house and finally finished my video diary of my time in Austria! (note to self: finish written diary...)
April 8:

• I posted my first Austria diary entry after procrastinating a bit... check out my Travel blog! (http://coravec.blogspot.com/)
• I gave a gift to Mollie that I got for her in Austria! :)
• Mollie and I accomplished a lot of Script Frenzy together! Four pages! *cheers*
• I composted a LOT and recycled the leftovers of our ice cream party dishes! I felt really good because it did take extra time to wash out everything, but it was worth it. :)

Clothespins

They hang,

in a row,

they suffer,

they wait,

night after night,

and rely

on a thread

to stay

afloat

in the sea

and the time

of no light.
