gift 2

Today I focused on being in and appreciating "moments." I took the kids out for some last minute shopping they wanted to do and we all went to the library. I snuggled in bed with all three of them and we read books to each other! I also donated money to St. Jude's by buying my three kids a St. Judes Christmas teddy bear ornament. This seemed like a double gift to me ... I get to donate to St. Jude's and add to the kids Christmas collection.
In return, I was in a long line at Staples yesterday to purchase a gift card. This amazingly kind woman in front of me said please go first. She had quite a few items. Her thoughtful gesture made my day and I got to work early! One of my best friends that I have been out of touch with lately called and has offered to help take the kids to meet my ex-husband for the holidays. She said she will take them or go woth me so I do not have to drop them off alone. Such a thoughtful gesture because she is so busy. She said she knew how uncomfortable and upsetting it is for me and wanted to help however she could. Love her!!
Tomorrow I get a root canal ... not sure what kind of gift I will get from that.... lol!
