I needed to do something positive and I wanted to be able to make a difference. Drawing on the immortal words of Michael Jackson (don't judge me for poor taste in music, it just seemed appropriate):

I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right

I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change

The theory is that I do at least one good deed every day. Who knows if anyone will ever stumble across this blog or if anyone will ever know, but hopefully with these small actions I'll be able to make a big difference! So here goes I guess....

1. Last night I stayed at the NYE house party I went to. Before the hosts were out of bed I (along with one of the other girls who had stayed over) had cleaned up all the bottles, cups, left over food and general party mess we had made.

2. I'm in the process of moving house. One of my house mates has already moved out but she left some things behind. I delivered an esky and some other bits and pieces to her new house.

Like I said it's not necessarily big things but I hope I can make a bit of a difference. That warm fuzzy feeling you get when you help won't be too bad either.

It's not always going to be easy. Sometimes the deeds will just present themselves to me and I will just need to say yes. But its the days where they aren't so obvious and I have to go hunting for them that I think will be harder. If anyone does ever stumble across this blog and feels like making suggestions I'm more than happy to listen.

Day one down... 365 to go....
