Good Deed for the Week

I remembered 2 days ago that for a while I was trying to make sure I went out of my way to do a good deed at least once a week. This was to be something out of the ordinary, daily stuff. I don't know when I forgot about the habit, but I was inspired yesterday to get back to it. I was reminded of it because often my good deed was to pick up the beer cans littered along the roads I like to run on. Sometimes I've had the boys come with me after school with their bikes and we'd clean up the whole route. When I headed out for a run Wednesday I was disappointed to see how many cans were along the road. Within about 5 minutes, I passed a plastic grocery sack with 3 empty beer cans in it. I picked up the sack, crushed the cans and continued carrying the sack to put any more empties I saw into it. Before I finished my run the sack was full to bursting - and I had stomped down all the cans! Belgium doesn't have a refund program for cans. Bottles of beer and wine are refundable here but for some reason the cans are not so many get thrown out of car windows along the roads. 
Het is jammer! (It's a shame!)
