Easter was last weekend and Lent is officially over. I succeeded in doing at least one good deed a day. Doing good deeds daily did help me to focus on bringing good into the world. However, like everything, too much of a good thing can be bad. Sometimes I was really stressed or busy and thinking of doing something good added stress instead of taking away stress. Nonetheless, I did at least one good deed a day and I hope to continue to do so throughout the year. Will I do so every single day? Who knows, but it  is something to aim for.
