50 good deeds for 50 days

By Daniela Payne

Our 50 days worth of good deeds makes giving back look like a walk in the park.
Good deed ideas 28-39
28. Offer to babysit a friend’s kids one night so she and her partner can enjoy a romantic evening out. You friend will certainly be grateful for the night off.

29. Bring your old magazines to a hospital waiting room to make patients' waits a little less nerve racking.

30.
Write a letter or e-mail to a good friend or family member to let them know how much you value them. Can you imagine opening a letter of that sort? Go on, start the trend.

31.
Volunteer yourself to walk an elderly neighbour's dog once a week. Getting out for a walk isn't overly easy for many elderly folk, so they'd most likely appreciate this gesture.

32. Instead of dropping your head and pretending you don't notice (like the rest of the rush-hour crowd) someone struggling to get a stroller down the stairs, take a second and offer to help.

33.
Offer an elderly person, a pregnant woman, a physically disabled person - or just someone who looks tired - your seat on the bus.

34. Help keep your city clean. Pick up plastic bottles and other trash you see around your neighbourhood and deposit it in its appropriate place. Click here to read CanadianLiving.com's Green Living blog.

35. Visit a nursing home just to chat with some of the residents, as many of them don't get regular visitors.

36.
They say that smiling is contagious. Pick a day to smile at everyone you pass on the street.

37.
Pass on your books after you've read them for someone else to enjoy. Take them to a local shelter or give them to friends.

38. Next time you read an article about an author you know your book-loving friend would enjoy, pass it on to them. It will make them feel good that you think about them.

39.
If you've discovered a great little restaurant or store, spread the word. The business and whoever you tell will both benefit.
