DAY 1
I am going to be using my blog as my journal. I hope this will be ok. I purchased the book yesterday, I stayed up all night to finished the book and started my first day today. I already knew what my gift was going to be for day 1 before I even began reading the book. I have a 32 year old girlfriend who has been very depressed, dependent on drugs, and always seems to find the most dysfunctional men to lean on. I decided my gift for day 1 was to give her a copy of the book. I don't know anyones e… Continue

Absolutely wonderful news! I'm very happy for you and your son. XOXO
For several years, I've taken my therapy dog to schools and libraries to work with kids. Since I already do this, I'm not counting taking Barley to our public library today as a gift. So, I made bookmarks for the kids who read to him out of scrapboo…
Lynne, that is wonderful you wrote to you cousins. It is easy to get out of touch with relatives who don't live near us. I know I have many all over the US that i have lost touch with. Also, gifting food is a favorite of mine. Yummy muffins sound gr…
I just found the coolest thing, pencils made from tires! Remember the yellow, #2 pencils you used in grade school? Well, the same company, Ticonderoga, has created a unique, patented process, to make pencils using the rubber compound from recycled…
i am so happy for you! i can' imagine what you have had to endure. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for reminding me about how prayers help.

Kindness comes so quickly back to those who first are kind... words to live by... i will try to be nice tonight.
I was shocked as I said. It was a local library book club and even the librarian called the book whiny and greedy. It was interesting how people can put a nagative spin on anything. I definately learned so much about my own attitude and how it appea…
Today, I was given a gift from my mother. She sees that I'm extremely depressed and having a hard time with my motivation and my marriage. Five months ago, I quit my job and thought it would be easy to get a new one. Since the economy has taken a tu…
I was talking about giving with my son on the way home from cubs the other night. This week is "Good Turn" week. Each member of Scouting is given a "Good Turn" bracelet which they pass on when they do a good turn for someone. We discussed different…
