Days 10, 11, 12

Oooh my rough week continues but I'm surviving and received some nice gifts today.  As for giving gifts, they have been small but I do have an intention to give every day so the challenge continues.  Day 10 I gave a small donation to Lilou Mace webtv because I have been watching her videos for years and have never donated.  I had been meaning to do that so I'm glad I at least gave a small gesture.  Yesterday,  I contacted some friends I hadn't talked to in a while to check in on them and also…See More

Day 8 and 9

My body is having a rough day today so I won't write much.  Yesterday I had a nice trip to the farmer's market.  My gift was to give some extra time to the guy who works at the farm stand who always tries to chat with me but I usually rush off because he makes me a bit uncomfortable.  Not in a creepy way...  he is always giving me compliments which is lovely but I guess it makes me self conscious.  I asked him how his winter was and he told me all about the new house he built... we chatted a…See More

Day 6 and 7 - meh

I felt pretty blah and low yesterday and couldn't get up the desire to blog at all.  I also wasn't that pleased with my giving...  but that feeling will not help anything.  My psychologist called yesterday and said he was moving.  He said he hadn't cashed the cheque from our meeting last week because he didn't feel quite right about it.  I paused and thought I could use that money and I had a sense that something was off our last session so I should tell him not to cash the cheque.  But then I…See More

Day 5 - Blueberries and dishes

I had a nice day.  My friend got her flowers at work and loved them.  She sent me a pic and they were beautiful.  I ran a couple errands today and no giving opportunities popped up.  But just the fact that I am open to opportunities makes me more conscious about what is going on around me and I also make eye contact and smile at others more and chat if the opportunity is there.  Not that I was rude before, but I just feel that aspect is opening up a bit more.  This evening I felt well enough to…See More

Day 4 - Flowers

It took awhile for my gift giving opportunity to present itself today, but it did.  It was 7pm and I hadn't given an official gift yet.  Luckily I didn't take the dream I had about my ex-boyfriend last night that left me in tears as I woke up this morning as a sign that I needed to contact him.  It did however cross my mind that it could be considered a gift if I did that.  He had wanted us to be friends and I said no.  Thank god I remembered why I had made that decision and realized that…See More

Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I am having health challenges and my energy is very low. I am living alone and am not able to leave the house much. I have been missing the ability to do things for friends, family, and my community. I am not feeling productive or useful and want that to change. I found 29 Gifts in audio book format and am hopeful that if I make a commitment to giving that ways in which I can be of help to others with my limitations will become more apparent.
What I'd most like to receive:
Support and friendship
How did you hear about the 29-Day Giving Challenge?
Finding the book
About me:
I'm 33 years old and recently went back to school to get a teaching degree. My first year went well but several months ago some health challenges caused me to have to leave my practice teaching three weeks early. I am unable to work at the moment. I know things will look up but I'm having a rough go right now. I would like to stop focusing on myself so much and help others.
Do you agree to read and follow the 29Gifts Code of Conduct once you join our site?
Yes
