Day 17 and 18

I really like the responsibility of knowingly giving a gift every day. Yesterday at school it was loaning an eraser, giving a sheet of paper to someone in need; in return I received a hug that I needed just because. And I cooked my husband catfood.Today, I stayed home and cleared the livingroom carpet of stuff I had no where to put it, and I was actually able to lay down the area rug I bought back in July, after vaccumming. That was my gift to myself.And I cooked my husband his catfood.…See More

ummmm, I really prefer them firmly planted in the ground annoying my wonderful neighbor while I enjoy their beauty. But you aren't the first to tell me that.

Good neighbors are a blessing for sure. If you haven't sprayed your dandelions the flowers are great batter dipped and fried, really!

I was thinking the same thing. And wishing we lived next door to each other so I could borrow a few.

Thanks guys. Since I wrote that post, I sat with my yarn for the Winter Special Olympics scarf that I am making, and had to rip it five times. They want it five inches wide, I am 'gifting' them with six. And you are right about the gives,…

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
After 9/11 I set a goal to every day do at least one nice thing, no matter what, for every victim of the terrorists; this now includes our troops killed defending our freedom. Some days I achieve my goal of one act, if I am lucky, I can do two. This will be my reminder to try harder.
What I'd most like to receive:
Peace.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
I first heard about the book, the title intrigued me, and I actually paid full price for it instead of waiting to find it used.
About me:
I am a wife, mother to four, mil to three, grandma to seven, daughter of God, friend to whoever will have me as a friend, and an art student at my community college. I have lots of interests, and reading is right up there. I am also owned by a cat.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes

Day 16--WOW!

Day 16, hard to believe that I have kept up with a blog for this many days. It was actually sunny enough that when I went and drove off without my sunglasses, I was cussing myself out. Anyhoo--made it to therapy, and it was a good session.



He told me at the beginning of this 29 day project when I decided not to do it, that I wasn't to make him one of the giftees. HA! I gave him a Michaels 50% off coupon for his wife (she's as bad as me) and I burned him a cd set of the bollywood… Continue

Happy March and Welcome to Days 11-15

Posted on March 1, 2010 at 9:20pm 2 Comments

Keeping in mind that no day is ever a non-giving day, I've been doing ok. Friday I gave myself permission to stop reading a book that I wasn't really enjoying because I had already seen the movie. Most of the time that doesn't bother me, butimages from the movie were fighting with the images from the book. I am mailing it to my beautiful daughter-in-law as a surprise.

Saturday, I said to my husband "hey, lets go to a movie" and guess what?…

Day 11

I've been kind of eh all day and didn't leave the house. Too many things going on in my head. I did manage to get up three times to eat, eat again, and then make three phone calls. One was to someone I visit teach to check on how things were going, maybe she'll call back tomorrow. The other was to thank my visiting teacher for the cookies she left on my door the other night. I don't think she got the message, so I will try again tomorrow. The cookies were good by the way.



The third… Continue

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. ~ C.C.
