29-Day Giving Challenge


I just finished reading Cami's book and LOVED it. I have decided to start each day with a positive affirmation and a short meditation. Yesterday I gave with lots and lots of love. I started by giving my hubby breakfast in bed.(He loved it!) We have both been so busy lately that we have been forgetting to stop and take the time to nurture our relationship. I focused on how grateful I am to have him in my life. It hasn't always been easy, especially with him being in the military, but he truly is a gift in my life and I am so thankful for everything that he has done for this family. I am learning that when our marriage gets hard, instead of focusing on what is wrong at the moment, I focus my energy and attention on all that is right and all that I am thankful for....it's a work in progress...lol

Today was day two and on my way to lunch with my son (I was going to burger king to get the New Moon cups...lol) I saw the neighbors son outside and offered to take him with us. They don't have a car and he doesn't get many chances to go places. I got him a kids meal and afterward took the boys to the park. They had a really great time!

I received a few very special gifts today. On my way to take the older two to school this morning, a neighbor offered to watch my youngest and kept him for an hour so I could get stuff done. Later on at lunch my girlfriend gave me a bracelet as an early Christmas gift.....and the weather was super nice all day!! That was an added bonus....we're in the Northeast and it was 66 degrees today!

What a couple of handsome fella's in your picture!

Isn't it kind of amazing about the gifts you are receiving? I feel like the more I mindfully give, the more I'm receiving. Maybe I'm just more conscioius of seeing the gifts I get because I'm giving. thanks for sharing Denise
