Day 3

Gave in faith again:

Still haven't made it to the store to buy the gift for the Tree of Hope tag. But I did give the bakery goods to Laurie and Maggie--the one's I bought yesterday. However, I forgot that I did that and was thinking by three oclock, that I still hadn't given my gift. So I sat down and worked through Savannah's math homework with her. This is a gift that shouldn't be a gift, but something a good mother does, but normally I coach from the sidelines. Today, I sat down and worked through all the math problems with her. They really are hard! Not sure they are worth all the drama she gives them but it did give me some empathy for her and we got to spend time with her, which was good.

And, I also gave the 3 dollars I found in my jacket pocket annonymously to another co-worker-in her notebook that was laying in her mailbox.

I was feeling super good--practically silly. But something happened at work this evening that brought me back down. Maybe I'll give another gift to see if that helps me pull out of this slump.

I think tomorrow I need to "give without overthinking."
