Today's gift was an actual birthday gift for a good friend. I picked him up a small set of candles, which he liked quite a lot.The day went well- I had another gift that I gave to friend Linda- a large quartz crystal that I've had for a few years but never really did anything with, except display it. Being a huge crystal enthusiast, Linda was floored at the gift. When I was thinking about things I could give last week, the idea popped into my head that she might like another crystal to add to…See More

Today's gift was an encouragement card for my mom. After having dinner with friend Rose the night prior, she gave me the inspiration to send mom a card to let her know that I'm thinking of her and wishing her some sincere encouragement. I tried calling her at the Rehab facility last night, but no one picked up the phone so I figured she was sleeping.Today was extremely cold; in the teens. I didn't get a chance to go for a walk for two reasons: 1. Dad called right as I was on the way to the Fox…See More

I'm sure your father loved the surprise hug. Good for you.

Today's gift was a simple hug to my dad. We went out for dinner this afternoon, and when we got home and he was about to take off, the thought came to me. I think he was a bit surprised because normally we do "the guy" thing where physical contact is limited, but it just seemed right today. I know he has had his hands and mind full dealing with my current situation.Today I took the first steps to do my "homework" from the life coach. Since I totally took myself off any kind of medication in…See More

Sounds like two gifts today to me....gift to the waiter of a couple of extra dollars to thank him for his work...and a gift of a kind explanation and opening with a friend when you could have just closed off and ignored your snappiness.…

I think crying is wonderful! I don't do it often, but when I do I completely embrace it and let it happen. It's actually been shown to be physically healing as well.

Seems to me wanting to feel better is about as good a reason as any. We all are striving to feel better in some way. I agree with Dawn, we can't really give to anyone else unless we've first learned to give to ourselves. Or put another…

Jeff commented on genuine, wwt, welcomer's blog post 'Does it bother you when someone forgets your birthday?'

At my last job, I was (for a time) the eldest of a six person group, and I often bought cakes and what not for people in the group when it was their birthday. I also got everyone a little something for Christmas as well. There was only one person in…

Sounds like you gave a gift to the right person...YOU! Sometimes, you need to remember to take good care of yourself, since we all get so busy and forget that important step.

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:: I heard about the idea and thought "hey, why not- if it can make a positive difference in my life, I could sure use it."

What I'd most like to receive:: A little bit of a lift from the stress of my depression and life in general.

How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?: www.enchantedfox.net

About me:: I'm 34 years old; single, and have a bit too much going on in my life right now. More than I can handle. I lost my job about a year ago, my mom is suffering from a brain tumor, and I'm just trying to come up for some much needed air.

I took friend Rose out tonight for dinner. Since she is always cooking meals for me, I thought it might be nice to give her a break and take her out for a change.

The day went ok; I woke up much earlier than yesterday and went over to Mom's house to drive her car around a little bit so it doesn't get stagnant. I did my daily walk, then laid down for an hour, then went over to Rose's house. I also did some job searching and found a possible job in Holliston, to which I applied with a…

Today's gift (which is still fresh in my mind) was a set of scissors for my friends at the Enchanted Fox. They are always looking for scissors when people are at the counter buying gifts and what not, so I stopped at Walgreen's to pick up a few odds and ends and thought that might be a good idea. Paul, one of the owners at the Fox, was very appreciative of the gift and spoke about how much he enjoyed the soundtrack to the latest Star Trek movie I had given him prior to officially doing the 29… Continue

Today I gave out a few one dollar tips to various places I ate at: Dunkin Donuts, Subway, etc. I took a ride during the day after doing my walk and then took another ride later at night to go hunt for the next season of Voyager on dvd, which I found.

Honestly, I forget what I gave today! I know I gave something, I just for the life of me can't remember what it was.

The day was ok, I got up, did my walk, and went to group for people suffering from anxiety and depression. It was ok.
