Day One
Interesting how the decision to sign up to the challenge today resulted in receiving before I'd had a chance to figure out my give! A friend invite and several warm messages already, very welcome after a blue day. Was wondering what I could give when a friend in need called and here was my opportunity. She's been through the wringer over the last couple of days and I spent a long time hearing her woes and offering support. We've been friends for many years and would always be supportive but there was a different quality to this contact and she was clearly touched by our exchange, as I was too of course. Looking forward to finding out what I'll be giving tomorrow! Blessings to all and happy giving :)

Comment by Shalunya on November 25, 2009 at 1:44pm - Pangur, I had that same experience. I was just wondering what my give would be and my sick friend called and needed me to come over. It's almost like we draw the opportunities to us when we are open to them. I hope the remainder of your journey is just as fulfilling as day one, or even moreso. Happy giving.
