Day 12 of 29 - GIve #2

Posted on April 3, 2009 at 6:51am 1 Comment

I am being challenged these days more than the last give partly because I presently am taking 3 online business courses, working and doing everything else life throws my way. So I am behind on posting and I know I am missing some gives to list here, but you know what - gifts should be given freely, so the days I missed posting - so those are freebies! Anyways, I do want to get back on track posting, so I will post yesterdays give - I am in a woman's Bible study at my church, I decided back on… Continue

Day 8 and 9 of 29 - Give #2

Day 8 - today I taught an art lesson to a group of very, very active 2nd graders. They were a busy bunch and had a hard time focusing on the projects, my give to them was to remain calm and not lose my cool. They were getting to me inside, but I knew it was just their age and the endless energy they have. One little girl came over to me and told me thank-you and that she had so much fun - sweet, a give that wasn't forced on her by an adult, she just did it herself. Very nice! Day 9 - I went… Continue

Day 7 of 29 - Give #2

Today I was so busy, I hardly had time to think. But once at the post office I let someone have the parking spot that I could have had and I let two people who had a whole lot less mail to mail go ahead of me. Busy but not so busy to be rude.

Day 6 of 29 - Give #2

Today's give was simple - just left a little extra tip for the very nice waitress this morning - boy was she busy! My professor for my Humans Relations class checked out the website today - he said he didn't know it existed, but found it very interesting. 2 knumbs up and an "A" for this week!

Roxie ~~What a doll baby. I have rescues too; ones that people refer to as feral so that there's an "excuse" to have them put down. Two of mine are Maine Coons; they are so sweet-natured & mellow. They were never issued the official Feral Cat Manual, so they didn't know that they could never be socialized and tamed.

Again, thanks for sharing your gentle giant!

Oh Roxie~~

What an absolutely precious kitty! I know you're thankful to know this cat, whether she/he is part of your family or you see the baby when you visit someone else? What a perfect give, with love going back & forth....
