missed a day...

I missed a day of giving. And, i am supposed to start over. but i am still going to finish this cycle...I have two days left. Then, I am going to re-group and start over.

this week i started one morning with a pay it forward starbucks give. it was so fun. i was actually bummed when they gave me a free coffee for next time because i did it. i didn't really want it, but took it as receiving. But, it really started my day off in an awesome way and I continued to have a good day.

I also met with my mentor group and bought them McDonalds for breakfast. They all loved it and noticed that I spend some cash on their breakfast. How did I recieve from this? They were all so nice and thankful...but more than that...they were sharing their lives with me and letting down their guard with an adult at school. awesome moment!

I also gave to a missionary to continue her work. I knew it was the perfect give for that day. She emailed me back with a heartfelt thank you.
I realized one day that I was receiving a lot and I didn't realize it. But i received many phone calls one day as gifts of support to me.

I did not give yesterday...I missed it...I did nice things...I gave patience...but, I didn't give in the 29gifts way...I had an event happen that completely threw me off my game...I lost myself...and my giving. I was ticked.

Today I simply tried to give by returning/making some phone calls.
Tomorrow I will help at a friend's kid's bday party. I'm super excited about it.
However, I missed a day...and, I didn't blog as much as I wanted this cycle. I am going to come with a slightly different plan for cycle 2.
