May I suggest a very good deed for you to do?  Visit a nursing home.  Tell the charge nurse that you would like to visit someone who never receives visitors.  When you enter this persons space, s/he might think, “Who the %@#* is this and what does s/he want?”  After all, they get no personal contact and time just passes them by until their next meal (not a good home cooked meal, either).

Even if they have lost their physical or social skills, just talk to them – tell them of the events in your world.  When you leave, they may not seem appreciative.  But you will have given them a gift they have longed for – a gift of life, one which is outside of their world of simply existing.  They will realize that.

Performing a good deed for a stranger is a great kindness.  You will leave with a spiritual warmth that you did not have when you entered the facility.  Your spirit will feel refreshed, no matter what is going on in your life – and so will the spirit of the person you paid a visit to.
