Showing Patience with people... That's my biggest down fall
My give today, was making some phone calls and ensuring that someone's needs were being meet. I also took my landlady's dog for a walk ( but I think the give was actually for me).

It's been about a year.
A small example I decided that today was "stop smoking day". A friend gave me a brand new box of nicorette on Sunday.
I'm thankful for this site and the small things that i can do to help change my corner of the universe.

W5 talks about MS and new treatment possibilities
I'm not sure if anyone has talked about this on 29 gifts yet, but i thought that I'd pass the information on.

Simple gives
Today was give was a book i had in my purse to the local library. What I got in return? 25,000 Optimum points for driving someone to Shoppers Drug Mart. I'm very close to receiving 150.00 worth of free stuff before Christmas.
My give is planned for tomorrow, items for the food bank.

A great big "Hey!" from Woodstock, Ga, USA! I am so happy we have so many givers from all over the world! Thanks for joining at such an exciting time! I am on the 21st day in the 6th round of 29 days. I hope you have the wonderful experience here that I have!
Let me know if you need any help!
We did a "give" in Atlanta a few months ago and gave away 100 roses on a sidewalk, it was 9 members from the metro ATL area, we started a "local" group, and you can start or join one too!
Make friends, read blogs, write blogs and leave other folks comments! Post pics and videos, join inner groups and GIVE! Have fun and watch for miracles to happen in your life when you do 29 in 29! Hope to see you around in the site!
