Starting Again

I've been trying to give a gift a day but I haven't been keeping track, so I'm starting a new 29 days today! Today I thanked the HR person for being so helpful to me while dealing with my difficult job situation. And I thanked my boss for giving me an opportunity to do some work that shows things are going better with her. And I thanked my husband for being so supportive of me and for staying up all night monitoring the water seeping into our basement! And I thanked my food coach for being so…See More

It's so easy to take care of everyone else and not ourselves. And then if we are working, there's so little time on the weekend to do everything. I'm trying to figure that one out myself!

Hi Tealady, Thank you so much for your comment on my blog. i really appreciate your thoughts. I hope o be able to get some down time this weekend, to rest and maybe read a book, or watch a movie alone... i think that might do me some good. Happy…

You sound very stressed. I've learned the hard way that when I start making a lot of mistakes and losing things it means I'm under a lot of stress and I need to find a way to slow down.Maybe you could give yourself a gift of time out for…

Tealady commented on LaToiya Tolliver-Revell's blog post 'Day 17-clean house'

I love the idea of doing housework as a gift. I also find it helpful to think of it as exercise! Thank you.

Tealady commented on Tracy B's blog post 'Days 2 & 3'

This is wonderful! You might want to get a copy of The Artist's Way. It's a wonderful book that shows us how to get back in touch with our artistic selves and get past our fears and blocks about whatever our art is--writing, painting,…

Day 28 & 29

Day 28--Let someone into traffic.Day 29--Wow! The 29 days went fast. Today I thanked a woman in HR who has been very helpful while I try to work out some problems with my boss. With her help I've planned how I'm going to approach a meeting with my boss on Monday that will be pivotal in our working relationship and may determine the future of my job. I'm grateful also that this program helps me not to be totally self-involved but at the same time that I'm struggling with personal issues, allows…See More

Breathe, my dear Tealady, breathe. Please take care of YOU, okay? I love all of your giving. And I am hoping tomorrow is a better day. Take care.

What a wonderful thing to do. The time you spent with this child may become a lifelong memory that makes a real difference in his or her life.

Tealady commented on MissMarcie's blog post 'Something I know you'll all appreciate.'

It is amazing to see someone take such a disability and create a useful, meaningful life despite, or because, of it. Thank you.

Anna commented on Tealady's blog post 'Suggestion for a gift--let someone into traffic'

Thanks for the idea Andra. That's a great idea, especially since I'm always in a hurry and rushed in everything I do. I guess I can try and do that the rest of today too. It'll probably help my driving too.

The Flamingo Room commented on Tealady's blog post 'On Day 12!'

Gratitude is a gift too, isn't it? And it sounds like you have a wonderful fella there who communicates in the language of action, creating good things all around him. How lovely!

Jan 19, 2010

On Day 12!

One thing I notice about giving mindfully is that I notice others giving more often that I used to. My husband, for example, just naturally loves to do things for people. We are planning a trip and he made a compendium of apartments we looked at to rent and sent it to the AAA travel agent we worked with and who had been very helpful. I am aware of and appreciate more what others do on a daily basis. A lot of my gifts have been to friends who are going through tough times--moving, illness,…See More

Day 27

Posted on February 3, 2010 at 1:03pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Today I was at an HMR meeting (Health Management Resources), a healthy food and exercise program. I had that awful week at work and felt like eating constantly but didn't. The group leader asked me to talk about that and I did. He called what I said "a gift." Sometimes you're doing things you don't even realize are gifts. That made me feel so good!

Wow, did I get behind! I'm realizing that NOT doing something is sometimes a gift. For example, I'm having a hard time at my job but am trying to keep calm and do my job well. It's really hard to stay focused when I'm so flustered by what's going on. But I wouldn't be doing myself, my boss, or my fellow workers any favors by blowing up or dissolving into a puddle, both of which I feel like doing!

Here's what's been going on:

Day 18--Called one of my daughters

Day 19--Let cars… Continue
