the gift of hanging out with my family without an agenda

Yesterday i spent the morning at the shelter giving out food and came home to take a long nap in a cozy bed with my dog and my books and my family doing things around the house. I feel so lucky to have a home and food in the refrigerator. I am blessed.Today I am just hanging with my kids doing nothing but seeing movies... this is so unusual for me to not be working, working out, blogging (except here) or cleaning. I honor this time.See More

Bookster61 commented on Holly Reich's blog post Forgiveness

"When I am--as a friend of mine puts it--"on the gerbil wheel" in the middle of the night I find writing down what I'm thinking or obsessing about helps a lot. So then the list can worry about it until I wake up in the morning."

still giving out money to the people in my building

i think about every card i write, every dollar I spend.... paper money is my least favorite way of giving but I know how good it feels when i receive it so obviously i need to do some work on all of this. looking forward to 2morrow and the surprises that come!

giving someone your full attention is huge

yes, giving full intent and intention to another person is huge -- especially for me-- a type A personality who can barely finish a complete sentence. so I am trying to focus in on that kind of giving. also i have been giving out $$$$$ to the people who work in my NYC building. this is hard for me because i feel like I can never give enough -- but then again, i think about the fact that my kid has 4 more years of colllege to get thru, my dog needs his teeth cleaned, my son needs a new jacket...…See More

Forgiveness

Posted on December 25, 2009 at 11:00am 3 Comments 0 Likes

My give for the day is to work on forgiveness... posting the intention is my first step.

On another note, I got up in the middle of the nite and started obsessing over something (I can't even remember what it was) and I started thinking about what I could do today for someone else. I decided to work at the shelter giving out breakfast tomorrow morning.

My paycheck? My son gave me a wonderful necklace with an ornament that looks like my dog!

Blessings all!

Treating myself and others with kindness

Just the simple things like picking up a box that someone dropped in the grocery store, opening a door, saying hello and looking the person in the eye. This is the kind of "giving" that is coming more naturally to me now.

The payback is coming in unexpected ways....
