A year ago, when I got the idea for this blog, I wasn't sure I'd be able to keep it up. I wasn't sure I would come up with enough ideas. And in the last month or two, my Internet connection was so terrible that I couldn't record deeds on a daily basis and ended up with many very short and colorless posts. But despite all that, I completed the blog.<br /><br />Was it worth it? Absolutely. It made me happier each day to know I'd done my part. My favorite deeds were serving food to the homeless at <a href="http://onegooddeedperday.blogspot.com/2009/10/serving-food-at-house-of-charity.html">House of Charity</a>, organizing the <a href="http://onegooddeedperday.blogspot.com/2009/03/preparing-for-genocide-prevention-month.html">Genocide Prevention Ritual</a>, and of course my signature deed: <a href="http://onegooddeedperday.blogspot.com/search/label/trash">picking up trash</a>.<br /><br />So am I giving up daily deeds? No way. This blog is done, but the deeds go on.<br /><br />Thank you to those who gave me support this year!<br /><br />To browse this blog, search using the LABELS menu in the right-hand column below.

My Internet connection at home sucks, and it's only when I get to a coffee shop that I can post with any reliability. Hence, I needed to be efficient in my posting. And besides, I couldn't remember what else I did those days. But I do pick up trash each day regardless of what else I may do, so at least it's honest.<br /><br />Today too.

I started feeling early on that I should do something special to care for her. I remember a day in the past when I fell ill with a strange exhaustion--as soon as I got up, I would get completely exhausted and would have to lie down again--and the girl I was with stayed by my side all day. All day! I couldn't believe she did that, and I would never expect anyone to do it again. But she did it, and it made a lasting impression. So I wanted to do something special for R. I brought her medicine, soup, and TV shows to watch. And I baked her cookies.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ONE GOOD DEED:</span> Bake R cookies while she's home with the flu.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2691608805489568721-5972404605164136329?l=onegooddeedperday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wgj8vf0E5nrM21ST1eWkPWZzdIU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wgj8vf0E5nrM21ST1eWkPWZzdIU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wgj8vf0E5nrM21ST1eWkPWZzdIU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Wgj8vf0E5nrM21ST1eWkPWZzdIU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OneGoodDeedPerDay/~4/w3gYpXSkbzw" height="1" width="1"/>B.

Each day was a new shocker--I really had never seen such hellions. But at least they were consistent.<br /><br />On the other hand, the few advanced students I worked with in the Japanese class were outstanding. They wanted to learn, and brought enthusiasm and humor to the table. They even made me a goodbye card, which I was not expecting at all. I never thought I'd miss Anwatin, but I'm going to miss those Japanese students at least.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ONE GOOD DEED:</span> Volunteer at Anwatin Middle School.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2691608805489568721-611730471780249881?l=onegooddeedperday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2lJjWJB59L-yN5AAd0wmcJLtZw0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2lJjWJB59L-yN5AAd0wmcJLtZw0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2lJjWJB59L-yN5AAd0wmcJLtZw0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/2lJjWJB59L-yN5AAd0wmcJLtZw0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OneGoodDeedPerDay/~4/tKHSf3GVuik" height="1" width="1"/>B.

The day pairs were assigned, guess who didn't come to class-- that guy who never comes to class. And when he does come, he isn't prepared, and when the teacher asks him a question he just stares back with a worried look on his face.<br /><br />So the guy shows up for class today and... oops! looks like he needs to join some pair as a third wheel. I have to admit I wasn't actually planning on inviting him to join our pair. My partner did. Now that he did though, I don't regret it. And it feels like a good deed after all.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">ONE GOOD DEED:</span> Let the guy who nobody wants to partner with join our group.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2691608805489568721-4698053457645108096?l=onegooddeedperday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/r7AeI9YG3tKJqpJObDv4tUCZbyM/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/r7AeI9YG3tKJqpJObDv4tUCZbyM/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/r7AeI9YG3tKJqpJObDv4tUCZbyM/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/r7AeI9YG3tKJqpJObDv4tUCZbyM/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OneGoodDeedPerDay/~4/3reYLoj9P3Y" height="1" width="1"/>B.

I am continuing my good deeds, but I just can't record them publicly at the moment.<br /><br />I have also resolved to complete 365 days of good deeds and then discontinue publicly posting. I will continue the deeds but posting has become a bit of a chore. The web site will remain, though.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2691608805489568721-7714409059190649642?l=onegooddeedperday.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VLW6HLj0xWnHksmn4M-J8bu9C60/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VLW6HLj0xWnHksmn4M-J8bu9C60/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VLW6HLj0xWnHksmn4M-J8bu9C60/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/VLW6HLj0xWnHksmn4M-J8bu9C60/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OneGoodDeedPerDay/~4/HxtivQofvCc" height="1" width="1"/>B.
