Hi Marcie,
I would love to help your son. Please let me know how. Would he prefer to receive the physical items, or, would a gift card to WalMart ( or somewhere he may shop) be helpful? Great idea.

Very negligent in posting
It has been a very busy week with my son not feeling great so I am going to just update my giving days in one blog post.
Day 21- Today my husband forgot his phone and I lovingly drove it 20 miles to his office without a complaint.
Day 22 My husband took my two sons to the Dallas Redskins game in Dallas for the weekend. I knew that everyone would be stressed coming from work and school just before the flight so I packed everyone's suitcases for them. They were so happy to just be able to leave… Continue

Another letter for Day 20
A friends mother just had knee replacement surgery and she is a widow so I am going to sit down and write her a note now to let her know I am thinking about her.

Day 18
Today I was at the grocery store doing the self checkout and it was packed. I was talking to a friend in the next aisle and I decided to bag her groceries while she checked out to help her and the dozens of other people in line.

We realize and understand the true value of life and just how fragile it really is. Our children are precious, Life is precious. I will never take another day for granted. Everyday is a gift and I tell my children everyday that I love them. Have a Happy Halloween:)

- Your story is very touching. I have learned to cherish every moment we can and be grateful for what we have. Take time to smell the roses. I'm so happy your son is doing well. Take care and be happy. Many smiles your way:)

- Hi Marcie, I was touched by your story and so glad to hear that your son is doing well. As I was reading your story it touched home. 4 years ago when my youngest daughter was only 12 she was involved in a near fatal car accident and my life as I knew it came crashing down. With the Grace of God and prayers from my community she survived. Her life is a gift, she is the light of my life. But, as you mentioned, my life and the life of my children will never be the same. Everyday is a gift and we find pleasure and happiness in simple things. To be in a position to be able to give is also a gift. My family and I are very blessed.

Paul is working very hard with his math. Apparently math is NOT like riding a bike. It takes a while to start feeling like you are in charge of the math again. Thankfully, my son the teacher is a math teacher. He is working on his…
Today has been a multiple of gifts - a lift to a friend to get some groceries, an email to another friend i have not spoken to in a while and some lovely time spent what and when i can give gifts to everyone that crosses my path. I also ordered a bo…
These stones are great. The type of things I love - the "sayings" are the best. I only wish we could purchase the stones.

What a great gift! I would love to share these with my husband and have him keep them on his desk as a reminder of how much I care about him - we are so busy and don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like, but this would be a constant way…
Keep smiling and sharing your beautiful gifts.
The last weekend in January - 30-31 Jan, we had horrendous weather here - we were iced in on Saturday and discouraged from going out at all. I didn't give a gift on Saturday but am back on track. I'm on Day 11 this time. Still working at - but worki…
What a beautiful gift... Thank you for sharing your smiles with your community and your story with us :)
Yesterday (Day Two) was a day of 2 gifts, inadvertently. My conscious gift was leaving a card on the windshield of a good friend. Just a little something to acknowledge him, let him know much I appreciate his role in my life and honor our friendship…
I wish I lived in your town and our paths would cross! I would love to meet you and share a smile. Your post brightened my day. Thank you!
My gift this afternoon was to my co-workers. After leaving an interview, I brought them drinks from Sonic (hello, Happy Hour!). Cokes and tea. And smiles all around!
You are such a genuine giver. Much luck as your journey continues, you are certainly spreading joy!!
It's been awhile since I posted due to snow storms and my upcoming trip home, but I've been doing the gifting everyday. Though it's sometimes hard to find the receiving energy from the universe, with all the problems we've had the last couple of day…
Is there no better gift than one you can pass on 9 times?! almost as good as 29 times~ Blessings everyone and good luck
Okay, so I had written out my Day 1, a pretty good size and promptly erased it! Maybe patience is one of the things I will get to learn in this process?
Yesterday was day 1. I gave a gift to my x-husband. We have three boys together and have been d…
