Fell off the face of the earth

OK so i haven't been around much...things have been crazy busy and i got caught up in it all. I can't say that i haven't been giving, but i haven't been as concious about it and I haven't kept track. I have been very busy with my fundraiser for MS and with school and the store. I feel like I am caught in a whirlwind. I need to get grounded and centered. Woke up super late today because I slept on the couch since hubby has the flu. Not to mention i gave up sugar and white flour for a couple…See More

The Gift of Nothing

Posted on February 24, 2010 at 4:56pm 1 Comment

Today my gift was to myself to do nothing when I got home from work...no cleaning, no cooking, no business! Just a lot of nothingness. I am a little under the weather with a cold, just feeling congested and tired. It isn't enough to stay home sick, but by the time I get home after teaching and doing after school enrichment I am BEAT! I felt I deserved this gift or I would be no good to anyone later in the week!

Day 20

Posted on February 24, 2010 at 5:04am 1 Comment

Today I gave encouragement and support to a coworker who has to have some medical tests. She isn't someone in my group of work "friends", but I sensed something was wrong, so ia sked and was able to give her some positive energy. I also put a note in her mailbox at the end of the day. She was very appreciative and touched and i was glad to be able to make her day a little easier and take some weight of her shoulders.

Did you fall off the face of the Earth again?
Just kidding.

Here's something to think about:

When people join this challenge, I so often hear them saying "I don't think I gave anything today," "This give didn't count because it's something I would have done anyway," or "I gave very little today."
I think the most important thing for people to realize during this challenge is that EVERY "little" gift is meaningful. It doesn't matter if you were already giving that thing before and would've done it even if you hadn't joined the challenge. All that means is that you were already giving; it doesn't make the giving any less meaningful. The seemingly little things matter ... what would the world be like if nobody ever did those things? They do make a difference. Don't discount anything you give; give yourself credit for what you do. If you choose to stretch a bit and go above and beyond what you'd normally give, good for you; but it's certainly not required.
Remember that giving to yourself is important too. Without taking care of yourself, how will you give to others?

Remember that the gifts you're already giving count.
Remember to give to yourself too.
Remember to be on the alert for giving opportunities that may pop up.
And remember to share some of your experiences with us.
