Two Circuits Sharing Ground Circuit

Electricians -

I have a receptacle circuit in one room that is not grounded (because it is powered by an old lighting circuit - weirdness of 100 y/o house). I've put a GFCI receptacle in first position on that circuit, to get some protection.

When I add receptacles to the adjacent room, I'll be able to pull a ground wire from the adjacent room circuit to serve as the ground for this currently ungrounded circuit. I read NEC, it seems to permit two circuits to share the same ground conductor, if the circuits originate in the same enclosure, which these do.

So . . . sound ok?
