monday and tuesday
hey,
monday I made the greatest gift ever, it made me feel so happy! and mischievous! I made eight little cards and wrote positive messages on them. then, when I walked home from the station I left those cards here and there. I didn't wanna be caught so I was looking around me all the time I felt so giddy!
yesterday evening I still hadn't given anything yet, mindfully that is. but then my love and me came to talk about my parts. being a student, a wife, a housekeeper, a friend, a daughter, a colleage. I find it really hard to talk about it but i did yesterday. I thought it a gift to me and my husband, to be honest.
I thought of a great gift for my last day, to give the book away. I think about leaving it on a bench in the park. we'll see,
love,

I know that giddy feeling! I belong to The Toy Society, where we leave handmade toys in various places for children to find and keep. Your post reminded me that I haven't done a toy drop in awhile. A good give for today, I think.
Love that you were able to talk about your roles with your husband - a great experience for you both and another one I think I will do this week for my hub and me.
Leaving the 29Gifts book for someone on day 29 is a great idea, too. I passed mine on to my sister-in-law on the island of Saba. Then I felt I wanted a copy of my own to refer back to, so I bought another.... which I also gave away.... then another and another and another and another! I even bought a signed copy to keep, but passed that one on recently to a retirement home in the October 29th Gift of Literacy challenge. With Christmas coming, guess I need to buy in bulk, eh?

I love this idea Erica! A little surprise can lift the spirits. I would have loved to see their faces when they lucked upon one of your gifts :o)
