Happy birthday to you! :)

When people join this challenge, I so often hear them saying "I don't think I gave anything today," "This give didn't count because it's something I would have done anyway," or "I gave very little today."
I think the most important thing for people to realize during this challenge is that EVERY "little" gift is meaningful. It doesn't matter if you were already giving that thing before and would've done it even if you hadn't joined the challenge. All that means is that you were already giving; it doesn't make the giving any less meaningful. The seemingly little things matter ... what would the world be like if nobody ever did those things? They do make a difference. Don't discount anything you give; give yourself credit for what you do. If you choose to stretch a bit and go above and beyond what you'd normally give, good for you; but it's certainly not required.
Remember that giving to yourself is important too. Without taking care of yourself, how will you give to others?

thanks for asking me to be your friend! hope you had a great birthday. Hugs, Dawn
