Day 20 - Teaching an old dog new tricks

My gift for today was teaching my 89 year old great aunt how to use her new Kindle. It took more patience then I normally had as I had to repeat everything while she took notes. Well worth the effort if she can enjoy her new toy. So glad she is still healthy and happy so I can enjoy her company.

I am sorry for the difficult day you faced. What a blessing for you to have such amazing role models. I can only hope that everyone can see how blessed you were to have had your parents as role models. They were clearly amazing together. Please…

I aplaud your donation to the Red Cross effort for Haiti. My husband and I donated to Doctors without Borders yesterday. It has been so wonderful to see the 29 Gifts community sending out donations and prayers. Haiti needs all our support right now.

Day 17 - Please god bless the people of Haiti

Today was a complete day of jury deliberation. Wow, an extremely arduous day. The jury finally came to a verdict. A gift to the plaintiff, although small, too much in my opinion. I feel so badly for the defendant and her family a 7 1/2 year ordeal from a mentally unstable plaintiff. I felt better after talking to the defendant's attorney who said she would be happy. I got home exhausted and needed to pack for a business trip to Florida. I sat still just long enough to watch the world news, and…See More

Why I'm choosing to give:
Picked up Cami's book yesterday for the first time and have not been able to put it down. I have always been a firm believer in what goes around comes around, and the power of the universe. Her story is so amazingly compelling. I figure the worst case senerio is I feel great about giving and help at least 29 people have a better day. What's the harm in that?
What I'd most like to receive:
Mmmmm. A new sense of purpose in life. I want to appreciate all the little things that are such a blessing in my life; get over depression and bring joy to those around me
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Kindle, downloaded it to read it.
About me:
I am a divorced single mom of two amazing children and a wonderfl golden retriever named Yogi. Professionally, I am a regional sales mananger for North America's largest industrial supply company which translates to a lot of travel, which can be a good thing and a bad thing. Overall life is good, just looking to make it great!

Mom and I are still in Orlando with my Great Aunt. She is 89 so I was the chauffer for the day. It is always a special treat for her when any family comes and invades her little home. We went out to lunch and I treated, I was faster then Mom today. After several errands my driving duties are over for today but I need to go make dinner.

Day 18 - Flying Free

Posted on January 16, 2010 at 2:57pm 2 Comments

This morning was an early morning. I got up at 4:30 AM to get showered and dressed, then got the kids going before my mom and dad got to my house. Mom and I left for the airport at 6 AM to head to Florida. Mom didn't know it but I paid for her luggage. The flight to Orlando was uneventful. When we arrived,my great Aunt and her friend were there to pick us up. We went out to dinner as a thank you for the pick up. I tried to pay but Mom wouldn't let me. When we got back to the house we were all… Continue

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. ~ C.C.
