Thanks for sharing all of the lessons you have learned on your 29-day journey. I take inspiration especially from your self-gift of being in the moment. Congratulations and Happy Valentine's Day!
Day 29, Valentine's Day, A Gift to ME!
How Awesome it is that I end my "29 Gifts" as a gift to myself on Valentine's Day. I have learned to "Love Myself" as I give to other people. RESPECT what I do, how I interact with others, how my day unfolds. Today I taught myself to accept me for who I am. I had a GREAT day. I went to my son's concert, focused on my relationship with my hubby, and most of all I practiced just "being in the moment" all day. What a gift to myself. I plan to practice the gift of giving and all the experience the…See More

Thank you Deb. Have a great weekend!
Day 28, One More Day!
Yesterday was the best day of all! I received a note from North Star cancer center here thanking me foran event I participated in. It was a FUN spa-like evening. There was a massage therapist, a hand masseuse, and I was the make-up artist. We were all there to nourish the body and soul and their spirit. As I continue to reap the many benefits of "giving", my soul and spirit are singing!See More

Day 24 and I'm Getting IT!!!
So today, with Valentine's Day in the air, I mailed valentine cards (hoping they get to out of town friends / family in time. In my son's valentine I mailed a McD coupon. He's away at college and thought he would appreciate that. He is always out of cash and hasn't found a job yet, not even an on-campus job. My gifts today wish much love and happiness to all. I have given smiles today as well to everyone at the gym, grocery store, post office and etc. I feel the love.

HI, Margerite, It's been awhile and I have missed you! You are so intuitive to relize that man was on his lunch break. Bless you and take care.
Day 23, Continuing to Give!
I haven't been adding Blog Posts, however, I've been continuing my daily giving and reaping many rewards. Today I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things. An elderly man who was employed there was in line behind me. I assume he was in line purchasing his lunch. I suggested he go before me in line. His face lit up and he was surprised I could tell. I remember working and having a half hour to eat lunch. I was rewarded as well, just by his smile and his warm "thank you". By…See More

Sounds like a really nice day with Hubby. A well-deserved relaxing time with him and then his gift to you-supper- and I bet it is delish! Hope your Sunday is just as nice.
