Cycle one, day 15

Well, I really don't feel like I lived up to my 29 Gifts pledge today. In passing, I tucked some cash under the gas pump handle. Not much thought went into it, and I certainly didn't feel any sacrifice. Tomorrow is a new day, a renewed sense of gifting.

Cycle one, day 14

I chose to make day 14 a gift to me. At least that was my plan. I found some extra time time at work so I took care of a chore so my staff wouldn't have to Saturday morning. I sent a text to my brother to say hi, we don't get to chat much. When I got home, I got right into jammies, got a blankie, and read until I fell asleep. It's a good day.

Givers Who Have Multiple Sclerosis

A group for people with MS who can talk about their symptoms etc but also gift ideas that may be easier for those of us who have a difficult time.

Cycle one, day 13

I can't believe it's been almost two weeks of giving! What a great feeling! Today I picked up an energy drink for a co-worker that is also a full-time student. She is always so pleasant and friendly, I don't know how she does it! I also cleaned out my pockets at day care this morning to put a little more in the pet food donation jar. I almost think I am getting away from the spirit of 29 gifts...I don't feel like I am going out of my way, or giving to someone that I may find undeserving, or…See More

Cycle one, day six

I am still digging the anonymous gifting. This morning I put a small amount of cash in a 29 Gifts card and stuck it in between the firewood for sale stack outside my convenience store. I even waited a few minutes to see if anyone would see it right away, but twas not to be. It was undisturbed when I left. I am excited about this weekend, it is usually my Christmas shopping weekend. This year feels a little different because I know I will be chosing some items knowing they will be given to…See More

Cycle one, day 20

Posted on November 26, 2011 at 2:30pm 1 Comment

Maybe my day 20 gift wasn't much for anyone else, but it was certainly a gift for me! I came into work, closed my door, and simultaneously worked on a project that doesn't require much attention and read a book I am totally into right now. The afternoon flew by! I got a lot of my project done, and I got a lot of my book read. It was a wonderful day, very relaxing. Plus, it is fun seeing my staff on Saturdays.

Fridays are my assistant's day off. She is so helpful to me during the week, it is easy to justify rewarding her, even if it is something small. To help her out, I spent an extra hour at work doing some of her chores that she would normally have done Saturday morning. I have never mentioned it to her, and she doesn't either...I'm not sure if she knows it is me that does it! What a nice feeling though, to be able to do something to make her day better.

Thanksgiving with my husband and father-in-law, and our three puppies. What a wonderful day! My husband, who is an amazing cook, made our entire meal. My gift today was for my husband. I made sure to tell him how good his meal was and how much I appreciated him cooking for us all. When I called my family to with them a good day, I made sure to tell my mom (within earshot of hubby) how wonderful our dinner was. Same thing when we called my in-laws. Dogs all behaved and were silly, we had a…

Found a really cute gift idea on-line, decided to try my hand at clay sculpting. I was quite pleased with the results, and am considering making more small gifts to stocking stuffers. I can't wait to see the recipients reaction when she opens the little bag!
