Its been awhile and I have been busy but I haven't forgotten the giving every day. I am getting my wish - we are getting snow! We haven't had a snow like this in years so its been wonderful not to have to go anywhere and just enjoy the snow. We have a hottub so I gave myself a gift of a nice soak this morning while watching the snow come down (hottub is covered but outside). I also gave the birds some food - waded through 6" and counting of white stuff to feed them. And I also successfully negotiated an offer to purchase for my client - Yay!! Every day I have managed to do something, even if its only to give a dollar to the red bucket or everytime they ask at a store. My biggest project this past week was shopping for gifts for the Adopt-a-Family program, wrapping them, and getting them taken to Sharing House, our local food pantry. I was given an A+ by the people there because I made sure that all packages were wrapped and the name of the receiver was on them. Apparently some just brought bags of stuff and left it up to others to figure out what to do with them.... It was a big project but I managed to get enough in donations and gifts so we are giving a family of six a great Christmas! I have also left big tips if eating at a restaurant and I gave my hairdresser a large Christmas tip. I also went to Unity Sunday and gave a nice donation to them. And I also changed out several lockboxes (we're going to a new system) for a fellow realtor who is in FL with family now. Sadly, she also has macular degeneration so she can't see anymore and probably this will be the end of her real estate career......And I did some floor duty this week and got all my Christmas mailings out yesterday to friends, buyers, sellers, and past clients.... So its been a full week and I'm blogging now because we may not have power later on. Its a heavy wet snow and we live in a forested area so trees always come down on power lines. But the generator is working and my husband went out for extra gasoline this am so we will be OK. Even if the power goes out for several days......
