Nana commented on Julie's blog post Day 19-Round 1 What if today was all there was?
"I'll try remembering "Tony" next time. I'm sure I'll get to try it out soon!!! Have a fun weekend!"

Nana left a comment for Pauline Nolan
"Pauline, I have only been able to complete 2 rounds but I wanted you to know that reading some of your early blogs had a great impact on me. I was a competitive swimmer until the age of 18. I swam off and on as I aged and even swam for a masters…"

Nana replied to Cami Walker -- 29Gifts Founder's discussion Do you have ideas for simple gives?
"I gave bottles of water to 2 men working outside at my neighbors house. I walked from the pool to my car and greeted each person that I passed until I got to my car."

Nana commented on Nana's blog post Day 29...Round 2
"Congrats!!! I had an autographed copy from when Cami was in Louisville, and I actually sent it to my niece (age 46) in Atlanta, who suffered a stroke, for good luck!"

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I have been away from this site for a while. I completed 2 rounds, I think. I am going to try this again, because I have not been in a good place this winter. I am going to use this as an introduction to Lent and see where it goes.
What I'd most like to receive:
In other rounds, the support I received during hard times was wonderful. I think giving will help me reach a better place. I felt great after the first round.
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society Kentucky Southeast Indiana Chapter had an event at a local bookstore after Cami Walker was in town.
About me:
I was diagnosed with MS in 11/07, but have had symptoms for 18 years. I have two wonderful sons from my first marriage. My oldest moved home a year ago and brought with him a cat and a 12 month old Vizsla (very active hunting dog). My younger son, who visits from northern KY, has a German Shorthair Pointer puppy. I already have 2 cats, so life continues to be interesting.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?

Day 29...Round 2

Posted on July 31, 2010 at 2:43pm 4 Comments

The day is young but I'm posting now. This morning I shared with a MS friend about the difference this challenge has made in my life. I told her that I would lend her my copy of Cami's book to read. Being that I have bought about 9 copies over both rounds to give as gifts, I have decided that the next time I see her, I am going to give her my copy or try to pick up a new one (if I get a discount coupon before then). I went Feeders Supply and bought my grandpup a large bag of food. Instead of…

28 round 2

Posted on July 30, 2010 at 4:48pm 2 Comments

Where does the day go!!! I started out bright and early, swimming1000 meters. I would have made a mile, but I started yacking!! I left there to visit my mom at the nursing home. I watched her little group try to play bunco. All 4 ladies have dementia, so they just kept saying, "I don't know what I'm doing!" I think they had fun. Afterwards I took my mom out for a ride in her wheelchair. We sat outside in the shade since it was such a pleasant day. When we went back inside I cleaned and polished… Continue

27 round 2

Posted on July 29, 2010 at 6:33am 4 Comments

I had my first give completed by 7:30 a.m.!! I got up when I heard my son getting ready for Guard duty. He has been staying with me while he is on duty this week. He drives about 30 miles back and forth everyday, rather than get a hotel. Now that I am retired, I don't get up at 6:00 like I used to, so he fixes his own breakfast before he leaves. Today I got up with him and offered to fix breakfast for him. He graciously accepted. Later I am going to put money on a Kroger gift card for him.… Continue

23-26 round 2

Posted on July 28, 2010 at 8:07am 3 Comments

I have not been able to get to the computer to write. The son that lives with me gets on for most of the afternoon and the son who is visiting uses the hook-up for his needs when he gets in from Guard duty. I hope I can remember what I have given. I have made a point to send out notes to friends that I have not been in touch with for some time. As I was leaving the pool on Monday morning, after I exercised, I greeted everyone I passed on my way to the car. I wished them a good swim and a…
