Starting tomorrow, I will do one good deed a day for the next 28 days until my birthday.
28 good deeds – 28 days – 28th birthday
Coming up with a list of things to do was a bit tough but here is what I have so far:

Giving thanks
I’m thankful for one of my bestest friends in the whole entire world.
I’m thankful for her daughter, my god-daughter.
I’m thankful for the time that we get to share together.
I’m thankful for the food that was prepared.
I’m thankful for perfectly warm weather when it really should be cold.
I’m thankful for manicures!
I’m thankful for my MOMMY! Happy 50th birthday to the queen!
I truly feel that if you focus on all that you love, there will be NO ROOM for hate. Surround yourself with love and watch how happy you will be.
Peace and blessings to you and yours.
Do one thing challenge
I had a pretty boring April. Actually, I always end up having a pretty bad birthday month. So now I’m going to make up for it. I’m doing one thing EVERY SINGLE DAY for the month of June. No thing is too small. Just remember, tomorrow is not promised. Do something.
I’m still here
I was gonna complain today but I decided against it because it’s stupid. Besides, doing this exercise was more fun.
Complaining about what you don’t have, where you haven’t reached and who you aren’t (yet) is a slap in the face to God and all of the things He continues to do. Therefore, no complaints. I am grateful because…
Stay “positively present” and smile.
What I’m jamming to:
January gratitude photo challenge
I’ve finished with the photo challenge! Whew! Here it is, as promised.
And I did get my Iphone. 
Check me out on Instagram: miss_lucy26.
Stay present and grateful
I can across this photo challenge on Pinterest and I can’t wait to start it January 1st.
Challenge deets according to Positively Present’s blog:
There’s no real “challenge” to it; it’s mostly just a way to motivate you (and me!) to stay in the present and focus on things that we’re grateful for. There’s no reward, no punishment — just an opportunity to be more present.
I will only post the pictures on January 31st. Hopefully I’ll get my Iphone squared away by Friday so that I can use Instagram like the cool kids. Feel free to join at your leisure.

EPIC thanks: what I am thankful for
I’m so glad to be a part of this wonderful secret that has been going on this past week. It has been hard to keep it to myself and revealing it only to those that I thought would spread the word.
So here’s the secret revealed:
Epic Thanks is a global celebration that seeks to change the world through the power of gratitude. Founded in 2008, the original TweetsGiving celebration was imagined and implemented by six volunteers in six days, and quickly became the #1 trending topic on Twitter as thousands of grateful tweets from across the globe filled the stream.
But the truth is TweetsGiving was never about twitter or social media. It’s about the gratitude in our hearts, and the transformative power our thankfulness can have when we share it with one another. It’s about cultivating a deep sense of for those remarkable souls who create hope in our world. That’s why this year, TweetsGiving becomes Epic Thanks.
Over the past two years, from the gratitude of thousands, this global event has built two classrooms and a library in Arusha, Tanzania, where the twitterkids, led by local changemaker Mama Lucy Kamptoni, learn and grow at one of the best primary schools in their country.
Today at 12 noon, I will be tweeting random things that I am thankful for. I want you to participate as well because when we all get together for a good cause, there is a wave of goodness that cannot be ignored. It’s fun to do something so simple that can impact lives, one thankful heart at a time.
So here’s how you can participate these next four days:
for Twitter : tweet about that for which you are grateful and be sure to include the hash-tag #EpicThanks as well as the link http://EpicThanks.org.
for Facebook: update your status to share what you are grateful for and be sure to include the the link http://EpicThanks.org. In addition, you can also post a Note expressing your gratitude and tag your friends so as to share this gratitude with them.
for Bloggers: post a blog about that for which you are grateful and include a link back to EpicThanks.org.
