Entry#3-The Happiness Associated with Strawberries and People

Ok, so for your enjoyment (or no one's since I have no followers :( lol) I have a qonderful quote by one of my freinds on facebook. He's a good guy and nice, and I decided to ask him out, but this is another story, one I wish to not display on the internet. Anyway, he set his status as "Have you noticed that the "lol" symbol looks like a drowning guy? I bet he's not laughing out loud." -**** ******. So even though its not a 'good act again' it still made me smile, and isn't that what they all need! So anyway, jump side note. I was going over to my almost wonderful friend Sage's house (indisde joke, she is most wonderful). And we (my mother and I-yes I still live with my mother, it is not pathetic, I'm saving money on rent) stopped at the store so we could buy some supplies for my movie day. We were walking in the fruit section of the store and we saw strawberries. I decided I didn't want them because they were a little expensive. But then I changed my mind. Previously we had seen a lady who worked in the produce section and we asked her to help us pick out a good box of berries. She finally obliged after a short conversation. The good act is that instead of giving us a decent box of strawberries, she opened a few boxes that she had on a cart and then put a box of very splendid strawberries together. My freinds enjoyed them. They were all wonderful and none were bad because she checked them all by hand.

Entry #2-Thing Ping-pong guys/helper guys

Okay, so this every day thing isn't going as well as I thought it would. I know what you're thinking (or maybe if you're not since I have no followers) every day is crazy, so here I am, a couple days late, I've resolved to do it as often as I can, but still provide you with something I have noticed in my life. Okay, here it goes.

February 5, 2010-Ping-Pong Guys
Okay so that day I was at a gymnastics meet with my team. Even though this isn't necessary a 'good act' I feel that it is worth acknowledging since it made me smile. So it was after the awards were given out to everyone. And see all the people there were pretty tired by then because we had been there since about 3 pm. So I'm standing on one side of the gym and I look across and there's four guys throwing a ping-pong ball against the wall. And although it seems childish and immature, which in some ways it is, it makes me think that the child that lives in every one of us never really does. No matter how old we get, we can always amuse ourselves in some smallish way.

February 6, 2010-Helper guy
So yesterday I had to go to work. And don't' get me wrong, I love my job, I get free food every Saturday night after I finish. Well it was after I finished working, almost all the customers had left so this was the time when all the customer remaining come talk to the owner. I had just finished doing something and I turned around. A couple was at the cash register with to my boss. The lady was talking animatedly to her. While she was about to finish up, her husband came up behind with her coat, and helped her into it. I haven't seen anyone do that in a very long time. It shows that he really cares about her. It shows kindness, compassion and consideration. I loved watching that simple act. It showed real love. So that's the good act I observed for Saturday. I hope that you can appreciate the simple act even if I cannot present it to you with much power or emotion.

Entry #1-The Best Listener in the World

I know I'm way past my deadline. Anway, here is my pathetic excuse[s] for why it's been almost a week and no reports at all. First of all, I do have to attend school, and while school is all fine and dandy; you go there learn something take a test then they pass or fail you, not really, but all the homework inbetween seems to drag on if you know what I mean. Okay, back on the reason[s] I haven't written something, is that well it was finals week last week I was extremly tired and stressed out. I aknowledge that while I might have studied hard, I also found time to do other things and therefore could have written something, it's hard to motivate yourself to write something and put it out on the internet without knowing there's someone to actually read it. But also I just didn't see anytihng I thought really stood out to me. But while reading my scripitures, (for those of you who aren't lds, that means the Bible, D&C, Pearl of Great Price and Book Of Mormon) I thought about how pathetic all my projects have been, and how I like never finish any. However this is besides the point,I did manage to think of something. Now down to buissness. So like I mentioned above, it was finals week last week. I was extremly tired and very worried about my exam, while maybe this isn't the best service given in 2010. I found it very helpful. My good friend ******* listened and talked to me even at like 10 at night which by the way if you get up at 6 (like we do) is a inconvience. She helped me, listened, and made me realize how great it would be when I'm done with all of them. While I know that this isn't very detailed and probalby doesn't do her justice, she still was a great help to me simply by being my freind and listening.
Thanks *******, you're the best!!

The First Entry

Today marks a signifigant event in which I hope will be a very successful experiement. Every day or so (depending on how busy I am and the availability of good acts) I hope to inspire everyone who decides to read the entries. This blog/journal/thing, whatever you like to call it, is composed of good acts, just like the title there people. Even though this world is full of anger, pride and selfishness. I hope to shed a little light on the topic and show you readers that there are people in this harsh unforgiving world who are decent, who show respect, and most importatnly can brighten someones day. Now you may ask, what is this person thinking? Everyone is going to assume that these stories are fake. So are my stories true? Well you'll just have to trust me. I mean really would someone actually lie about this? How many people? Except for MLIA, I mean hello? Half the people make up that stuff. I was reading an entry last week and in the post the person who posted it said that "I've only had fake ones posted". I hope that when people read this they are compelled to have more patience, more compassion and more love in their life, until next time.
