days 5,6,7 &8
hi everyone! i hope everyone is having a wonderful day of giving.
i have been giving lots of little gifts which have helped lift my spirits so much. every morning i say my prayer that i give joyfully and for guidance on what my gift should be. on day 5 - i mailed thanksgiving cards to 2 families i have been distant with for years ( mostly because of what my daughter did 10 years ago). in the cards i included pumpkin spice tea. day 6 - i opened the front gate for hubby so he didn't have to get out of the car in the pouring rain. i finished the sweater for the charity. made breakfast, tea and hot cocoa for my ill son. for me i started listening to music again while cooking ( i made a pot of tomato sauce). i gave miss eagle ( one of my hens - she has the coloring of an eagle) a pet - she squats down as soon as i am near her. day 7 - spent quality time with my daughter - in - law stephanie - we talked and had tea. i wrote more thanksgiving cards to friends, i made tea and rubarb crisp for everyone. day 8 - i spoke to each cashier - asking her how she was, i rescued miss eagle from the enclosed vege garden - i guess she flew in there by mistake and wrote/mailed thanksgiving postcards to 3 family members who have been distant. it has be an uplifting 8 days of giving.
god bless
