Days 1 and 2

On Day 1 I was traveling and decided to gift toll fare to the car behind me. As soon as I gifted the toll my spirits lifted as I thought about the unexpected joy it may have brought to a fellow traveler. A few miles later a car passed in front of me and the driver gave me a couple of waves and then continued on his way. I began thinking about how nice it was to make a connection with someone as we drove on the highway to our separate destinations... sometimes driving can feel so isolating and I…See More

Day 4

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 5:48pm 3 Comments

I gave my gift early this morning... sponsoring a friend's walk for ALS in honor of her dad... the day really opened up. I ate breakfast in a park by the ocean (which I am lucky to have as my back yard) and was greeted with compliments at work. I also was gifted the sweetest picture from co-workers 5 year old daughter. We exchanged cards throughout the afternoon and my co-worker said I made her day... it brought me so much joy. I ended the day with dinner with friends and we were…

Day 3

Today I gifted myself a pedicure and I am headed to bed early. I am looking forward to reading in my cozy bed. I am so thank-full for the many gifts I have offered to myself today and am so glad to have shared a large tip with my pedicurist (maybe not a word... but you get it) at the salon.

I am struggling a bit today. I did manage to give myself the gift of walk by the ocean and also a journal entry expressing my appreciations this morning... but I have yet to give a conscious gift for the day... I did notice that a store clerk was very friendly and present with me as she waited on me this afternoon and that was a lovely interaction. I am hoping I can open my eyes and heart to a giving opportunity this afternoon/evening.
