Day 2

Today I give in faith, again. Still nervous. Mostly about logistics. I have too much on my plate. On the first day, I was at a loss for most of the day so I decided to take a tag for the Tree of Hope--a gift card for any grocery store. I thought I had no other ideas and that would be quick, at least. But I didn't get to it. Didn't do it today either. Today gave me another false start--I had to go to the Blue Mesa Grill in Addison for a work related luncheon. I got there with time to spare so I wondered about the "fancy shmancy" shops and found a bakery. I bought to "Holly Dollies?" for Laurie since she's been feeling so beat up at work and yet she made a vow to be positive today. Sadly, I didn't make it back to work before she had left. So, I decided to give away the twenty in my purse. (YIKES!) I know of two colleagues at work that are in pretty desparate need of money. One had already left when I got back this evening. I found a red ribbon in my desk drawer and tied it around the twenty and stealthily tossed it in another co-workers mailbox while she was helping a customer.

That was at 7:45 p.m. but the unclogging phenomenon happened again: After I gave my gift, other gifts started flowing out of me--namely, playing a hand game with Chloe all the way home and making several trips out of the way to look at Christmas decorations.

Time for bed-time to start thinking about tomorrow's gift. . .
