A Deed a Day

It was a busy day as usual. I was making sandwiches and balancing the phone between my shoulder and chin. The washing machine sounded as my husband walked in with our daughters. We had only about twenty minutes to eat  41   we had to take the girls to their next activity. My husband seemed a bit  42  that dinner was not on the table.

That night, I had a heavy   43  , thinking we were becoming taskmasters on an assembly line (流水线). We had become too   44  in our own tasks and not very considerate towards

those around us. We needed to do something to bring back some meaning into our lives. It needed to be something that would  45  our own agendas and energize us toward the common good.

I bought a notebook, named it “Our Deed Diary” and held a family meeting. I told my family I wanted us all to think about doing a  46   for others every day. It could be for each other or for people outside our  47  . And we all needed to write it down in the notebook.

I thought one deed a day was too easy. However, it was actually  48   than it seemed because it had to be something  49  what we had already done. Sending birthday cards to people we already sent cards to every year would not  50  .

We had a rough  51  . On some days, someone would forget to  52  a good deed, while on other days, we would forget to write our good deeds in the diary. After a few weeks though, I found myself waking up in the morning trying to  53   what good deed I could do for someone that day. My daughters began to rush to me after school to  54  me the good deed they had done.

Now, after a year, I am happy to say that it is making a(n)  55  in our lives. Instead of always  56  what the day will bring for us, we think about what we can do for someone else.

Who would have thought that trying to do a simple kindness a day would be so  57  ? I feel my daughters have felt inner joy that you can only  58  by giving to someone else from your heart. The best thing is that you feel so great about doing something for someone else; you don't even look for or expect anything in  59  . So, when someone does return the favor, it is an enormous and positive  60  .
