Round 1 - Day 20 - Time slipping by and making a bed

I'm not really ready for it to be Day 21 AT ALL.
I've slipped up on several days along the way, and still feel like a real beginner. Clearly this was very much a starter round, and I'm going to buy Cami's book right now to help inspire and guide my thinking a bit for Round 2 - luckily I also have all you inspiring bloggers and friends around, or I don't think I'd even have made it this far.

As for yesterday's gift, it was small but interesting. By the time I leave home, my husband is usually still in bed. He's not a bed-maker so (gasp! horror!) by the time I get home, sometimes in the early evening, the bed's still unmade. Then it usually seems silly to make it just for the sake of a few hours...
But today the sight of that unmade bed really bothered me. I thought about how much nicer for hubby to come home to a relatively tidy room and a made bed. Then a huge resistance came up in me: Why should I? Why would I? He never does, I'm not some kind of house slave etc etc... Thanks to the Giving Challenge I over-rode all that and made it, which naturally took only a minute. I'm going to try and do it again today, and maybe even take the time to do it really well. I suspect the giving that makes us uncomfortable is sometimes the most beneficial.
