Do Now 3/14

I walked outside one afternoon, and greeted my neighbor. When I greeted him, he didn't even hear or see me. It's as if I was invisible. I walked back inside my house to get something, and I noticed that when I walked past the mirror, there was no reflection. "Whoa," I thought to myself. "I'm actually invisible!" 

It was the perfect moment to do a good deed. I always wanted to do a good deed, however I wanted to remain anonymous and never wanted to be mentioned in the local paper or news. Therefore, I could perform my good deed and go unrecognized. I decided to go around to a couple homeless people leaving some money and food for them. I hoped that they would put the money to good use. It gave me a great feeling to be able to help the needy, and I would definitely consider doing something generous again sometime.
