Day 13- Music fun
I'm not usually a breakfast cooking gal. But today I offered to make my husband and egg sandwich before he headed off to a seminar. I bought my son the Apples to Apples game that he has been ooohing and ahhing over for what seems like years. We headed off to a folk music festival. But I did not take the GPS and got a little lost. I gave the gift of persistence by not giving up and just heading home. The detour revealed some parks that we did not know existed and we will check those out soon. We…See More

That is a great story in many ways. It sounds like you had some gift giving / receiving momentum going.

I am so happy crockpots were invented.The gift of a nice meal is always welcome. And I am sure your prayers were heard for the poor young woman at the Hospice. Take care.
Jeannine commented on Jill P's blog post 'Day 4-The Gift of Music and JFK'
That's really nice. My dad and I loved each other very much yet our relationship was somewhat guarded and distant. It takes something special to break free of the past and create something new.
Jeannine commented on Jeannine's blog post 'Days 8 and 9 - gifts of positive thoughts'
Thank you for the encouragement. I needed that right now. I have this tendency to fall asleep at the wheel of life and just plain forget my intention to do this. I am going to just keep at it and hopefully the periods of awareness will gradually…
JJ commented on Jeannine's blog post 'Days 8 and 9 - gifts of positive thoughts'
Years ago there was a study that showed people who received prayers (even from strangers) on their behalf had better outcomes than those who did not. The study was even referenced on an episode of West Wing. Sending positive energy out could do the…
Days 8 and 9 - gifts of positive thoughts
One reason that I started this challenge was that I wanted to change my consciousness. I felt like I was often not changing at all even as I dutifully recorded my daily gifts. The other day I considered the question "what would happen, how would my life changed if I just pumped positive thought into the world". So I have been working with bringing more moments of awareness into each day and then turning my thoughts to the positive. I send other drivers thoughts of safety. I silently wish for…See More

Day 7- family running and cooking
My entire family, including the dog, went for a run just over 2 miles. I feel like by inspiring them to get moving that I am giving a potential gift of fitness and health that they can use to their benefit for the rest of their lives. I also gave us all the gift of healthy diet by shopping wisely and then cooking a healthy dinner. I really cut back on the amount of junk food that I normally pick.

Day 6- Dog benefits yet again
I woke up a little early and took my dog sweetheart Betty for a walk. I decided to sneak in a little running and she just loved it. I trotted for a brief stretch and when I stopped she looked back at me with the energized gleeful look. Maybe she has picked up the running bug that is spreading through my family.I went to lunch with a friend and left the tip.See More

Profile Information
- Why I'm choosing to give:
- I really get energized by the anonymous giving that I do during the holiday season. I hope that this challenge will bring that same passion into my day-to-day life.
- What I'd most like to receive:
- I hope to expand my awareness of the gifts that I already have. I know that I have many things but sometimes I feel like I am only aware of lack. I want to achieve a new outlook on life that causes me to act in a new way and hope that this will be my gift to the world. I am open to any surprises that the universe has to offer.
- How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
- Yoga Journal
- About me:
- I live in central Florida and am a mother, writer, student, runner, cyclist, karate student, Scentsy salesperson, and book reseller. I am looking for the me that exists outside all these labels.

Day 11 and 12

Day 11- I got up early to start dinner in the crock pot before I left for work.
Day 12- I got up early to walk the dog in the rain. She pretty much refused to go in the yard by herself when it is raining. This week I gave up 2 lunch hours to drive to the Hospice main office so I could get my yearly TB test. Today I went back for my read and was waiting in the lobby when an ambulance arrived with a new patient. There was a young woman sitting opposite me who looking increasingly nervous and… Continue

Day 10- spare change
Posted on January 21, 2010 at 5:22pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
Running on autopilot lately and plain old forgetting my noble intentions. Last night I "treated" the kids to fast food after family karate last night. On the plus side, I saw the Ronald McDonald house collection box and poured all the spare change from my car into it. It was something.

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