Days 3, 4, 5

Small gifts these last 3 days, because of time constraints. However, I have received my first gift from this process - a new mindset. I spend every day thinking of what I can give, what I can do for people. As a result I am a nicer person, and a happier person. Pretty good for the first 5 days!Day 3 - Spent some time doing some computer work for a friend. Also a gift to myself - I went to see "The Blind Side" - a wonderful movie that shows how giving can change a life.Day 4 - While running…See More

Day 2

Today I sent a note of affirmation to my daughter in the mail. I was recently reminded that her love language is words of affirmation, and I know I don't do this nearly enough. So I found a card Ibought with her in mind, penned a love letter to her, and put it in the mail.My second gift was to my husband. We ate Thanksgiving dinner away from home, and he didn't get any pumpkin pie! :( I don't make pies, but I did brave the enormous crowds at Costco to buy one for him. I think his love language…See More

Day One

It seemed appropriate on the day after Thanksgiving, a day dedicated to giving thanks and eating, to donate to a charity that is committed to feeding hungry children. So my first day of giving was a donation to the 'We've Got Your Back' backpack program, a program sponsered by Giving Children Hope, which will be doubled by a matching grant they have received. More bang for the buck!

Why I'm choosing to give:
My life has been so blessed. When I read about this project on Thanksgiving, and realized it was about 29 days until Christmas, it seemed like a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season.

Days 9 & 10

Posted on December 7, 2009 at 12:48pm 2 Comments

Day 9 (Dec. 9) - I was challanged by something I read here about how we only seem to give away things that we are done with anyway. So I decided to give away something that I love.



My oldest daughter moved out of the house this last year, so this is her first Christmas in her own place. I gave her my very favorite Christmas decoration, which also happens to be her favorite Christmas decoration. I did make her promise to take very good care of it! It made her so happy!
