I too have experienced days where I find it hard to give, so you're definitely not alone. Just continue on with your journey and I know you'll get over your blues. My prayers are with you.
I probably have committed the same unconscious act several times. There really is no excuse for being rude. Thank you for opening my eyes and making me see the situation in a different light.
What a great way of seeing things. Expressing a thankful thought is truly a great gift, especially how it can make the receiver feel appreciated.
May your family find strength and comfort during this challenging time. Your cousin is blessed to have someone like you in her life.
Oh my, I too experienced the same hang up when I forgot to give yesterday! I just made sure to make my give today extra special.
Thank you for sharing this experience. Your story has inspired me as I have often experienced great attachment to even just regular things. I will try to follow your example.
Your story about the barista has inspired me. Most often I try to choose easy gives. Thank you for making me realize that the harder give usually makes a bigger difference.
I'm on my 20th day of this journey and I too realized that l that I have become a lighter and more generous person. My happiness now comes from being able to give, instead of being on the receiving end.
Your give on day 5 has inspired me. Thank you
I am on my 20th day today. I've experienced happy days and easy gives, but there have been difficult days as well. Best of luck on this wonderful journey!
Your post has given me a new perspective on things. Thank you for that. I will try to be more receptive and open to the people around me.

- Support our Cause of the Month
In November, we're sponsoring a cause that has been started by fellow giver, Lubabat. We are so deeply touched and impressed by Lubabat's strength of character & spirit. Lubabat was diagnosed with MS in the mid 90s and then in August of 09, she was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer. Her reaction has been so inspirational - she is thriving through giving. She is hosting a Christmas Give and her theme is "going small to make a big impact" We have named her our November Cause of the Month and would be grateful for your support!
Happy giving!
P.S. Don't miss our handy 29-Day Giving Calendar or our cute Gift Note to accompany your gifts.
