I'll be summarizing my giving activities in a post on my blog at the end of the 29 day challange. My progress so far is listed below:
Day 1 (10/4)--I made homemade beef stew and homemade chicken soup and boxed some of it up for my son Sean to take back to college with him. It made me feel good to know that even though he's away at school, he would still be enjoying Mom's home cooking.


Day 2 (10/5)--As I was getting into the elevator this morning, another lady got on with a beautiful green and blue blouse on. I complimented her on her blouse and although she did the typical, "This old thing" denial, I could tell she was pleased by the compliment as she got off the elevator with a smile on her face.


Day 3 (10/6)--It is three days before payday and hubby is out of cigarettes. I scrounged up (okay) borrowed some money and went out and got him cigarettes. I'm not sure this really counts as a good deed or not as smoking isn't good for him, but it was something that he wanted and I went and took care of it for him. I also got the dog ice cream on my way back.


Day 4 (10/7)--I took my dog for a walk today. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but although my dog loves to walk, he is the worst walker in the world and it is a huge chore to walk with him. I know that the more time I spend walking with him the better, but it feels like a battle royal every time I take him. It was worth it to see how happy he gets.


Day 5 (10/8)--My son came home from college (downtown Chicago) to get some books and I drove him back to school rather than make him take the train. It was actually nice as we got a chance to talk about life, school, and a bunch of other things.


Day 6 (10/9)--I bought cinnamon bread at the bakery my daughter works at and took it in for the folks at work. This was a twofer as I was helping out a local business that has been very good to my daughter and I was making the people at work happy.
