Happiness/ Good Deeds/ Positive Thoughts
This blog is dedicated to Happiness, Good Deeds, and Positive Thoughts :) Please feel free to comment or leave questions and spread the blog if you know someone who needs something to have a good day :)
We are only given one life to live so why not just do more good while we are here? I strive to do good deeds, promote happiness, and think positive thoughts.

Helping Some Folks Out
On February 10th, a few of my friends and some family got together to make the trip To Washington, D.C., and distribute some food, clothes, and some smiles :)
Together we made about 250 bagged lunches and collected so many bags of warm clothes, scarves and hats that we packed to vehicles with all of our donations!!
We spent the day in D.C. just walking around in parks and on the streets distributing lunches and clothes to those who wanted them. Surprisingly, some people turned down what we had. Some said they did not want the blankets because they simply could not carry them. Most of the homeless people we encountered were so sweet and grateful for us. One gentleman smiled as he took his bagged lunch and said, "The angels of mercy have come to visit today!."
In just a few short hours, we were able to distribute all of the 250+ plus bagged lunches and most of the clothes. Whatever clothes were left over were donated to others in need.
This day was such an excellent experience. We were able to give back what we could to help these people sleeping on the cold streets very close to our own hometown. We got to hear stories and share some smiles from these people and were so happy to help! We will be going back in the Summer to hand out waters and cold foods as well as Summer clothes.
Donations are always welcome and if you would like to donate clothes, food, time, or otherwise, please feel to contact me at justjeniferchristine@gmail.com

This experience is just one on my journey to Just Do More Good :)
Take the time to think if you were in this position. A little time, a smile, and a positive attitude is all it takes to make someone's day and bring more good into the world.
