"You may never know how much this gift of time means to your friend going through hard times. I can still remember how much better I felt when someone listened to my problems over 30 years ago!!"

Day 9 - Hooooonk

My gift was a nice happy friendly wave and a big smile to the guy behind who laid on his horn at the light (the light had just turned green from red).

Peace and smiles to all

Day 8 - it's the little things

Posted on October 19, 2009 at 1:53pm 3 Comments

Spent the day with a friend who was in from out of town. I chose to open the door for people, give compliments, smiles and a few other small courtesies through my travels that day.

Peace to all

Day 7 - T-bone

Posted on October 18, 2009 at 5:00am 4 Comments

My gift was flipping a peace sign to an apologetic woman who almost t-boned me when I exited the Expressway. This was a definitely a spontaneous, conscious give as she really scared me. My immediate thought was, I am ok and this can be my give, I relaxed my tense body and gave her the peace sign as she kept mouthing "Sorry"...

Peace to all

Welcome, Melissa!
I love your list of the the 3 things you want to receive ...

So you've got the book. I stumbled across this challenge/this site about 8 months ago and loved it ... had to stay more than 29 days. But the book just came out ... got my copy and began reading it this week.
We have a "book club" group on this site and we're going to be discussing the 29 gifts book on there. I encourage you to join us.
