a gift of time

I received a gift today, a snow day! How wonderful, it is beautiful and I am planning on spending it on me. So, my gift today is to myself to relax and do what I want to do, not what I feel I have to do. To all those with a snow day, enjoy yourselves.janeSee More

slacking off and getting back to blogging

haven't blogged about giving lately and feel guilty. Today, I gave fabric to a friend for a project, a pair of gloves to my husband, and dinner to my sister. It was a good day with lots of opportunities. Looking forward to tomorrow.JaneSee More

Today was helping a friend start a quilt for her daughter, staying after school so she could come in and start it. Although it seems selfish, I also get so much out of these gifts myself. Will try to blog daily, it seems…See More

And then it is back to work and the rush of teaching, sometimes it seems so easy to give to students and sometimes it just isn't, like the student who curses you out as he storms out of the classroom. I wrestle with giving…See More

day one

Having never written a blog, or done a giving challenge, I was surprised when I opened my mail and found gifts and well wishes for my challenge. Thank you.I spent yesterday wondering when I would have the opportunity to give. It came and went without my even realizing I had done it. It wasn't until later that evening that I realized I had given my 5th period class a gift of cookie baking. It felt good to see them all in the kitchens working away, and they finished and cleaned up without being…See More

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.
