Well I have officially lost track of days and time....but I have not given up giving every day I am giving and it feels great.
I don't think this is going to be just a 29 giving challenge, I have turned it into a daily habit that shall continue.
But just to catch up, I spent 4 days in wine country and helped the woman I was staying with every day with her errands and mostly with her dealing with a separation she is going through. I wrote a funny song for a wine and chicken pairing, and I sent the woman I was staying with balloons for her birthday, knowing that she would not be celebrating the day in any special way. (she did send me home with 12 bottles of nice wine by the way)
One day I prayed for a good friend, and another day I spent 2 hours helping a friend deal with a struggle. I made cookies for my friend who picked me up from the airport, and I dropped cookies off at my neighbors place......cookies are always a fun thing to give...and I find I have to or I will eat them all myself. I volunteered for HEAL THE BAY and cleaned up the beach for hours, as well as volunteered my services taking video of it all and promised to produce something special for the organization....I will be editing a meaningful video as a gift to them to use as they wish.
I housed my friends little sister for a few days and took her to the airport before her big 6 month trip to New Zeeland, and then I housed a few guys passing through that I had met in wine country.......realizing my gift was about 5 days of hosting people who needed to be shown around, and needed a place to crash. I am now in Sedona visiting my parents, and yesterday I did the dishes, today I made fresh guacamole for their friends, and this leads me to tomorrow, which has to be day 20 "something"........
Most importantly I am giving each day, and realizing that the giving never gets old, and I never run out of ways to give.
I am going to finish this blog on tuesday----but will continue to give as I know it has enriched my life more, and opened my eyes to the human compassion and connection that is felt when I ask myself daily....how can I serve? :)
