three days of more giving! :)

Okay...well I have been a little busy that I really only found time to update this blog this morning. I feel kind of guilty about it, but I Have continued my giving each day and am now on DAY #11. For day #9 I decided that I was going to go through my closet and get all of the clothes that I don't wear anymore and donate them. So...after a bout an hour or so of going through my closet I was able to come up with clothes that I was willing to part with. I took them down the street and dropped…See More

Day #5 and Day #6----I HEART this giving thing! :)

WEll...I am on day #7 as I write this and my gift for today has yet to be decided. Day #5 I decided to give my mother a little gift and I sent her a really nice card telling how much I appreciate her and all she does for our family. She deserves to hear that and it made me feel great to be able to communicate that to her in a gift of a card!Day #6--I get a smoothie everyday from a place close to my house and today while I was getting a smoothie I decided to gift the next random person that came…See More

Day #4---Just a little something can go a long way

Well...Every Monday is massage Monday for me. I give myself the treat of nurturing myself to a massage to take care of this old body...haha...I'm 43! Anyhow...I thought thought it would be a great gift to give my massage therapist a gift and let her know how much she is appreciated. I gave her one of the little note cards that I printed off from the site and a purple ceramic ribbon pin that supports finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.(Previous posts I indicated that I lost my father to this…See More

Day #3-Hmmm...Patience!

I am a divorced father of a 20 year old son who is in his second year at the University of Wisconsin....I live in Phoenix. My son is the type of kid that when there is a problem it becomes bigger than it really is...well...at least in his mind. Today I GAVE HIM THE GIFT OF PATIENCE. I listened to him complain about what was bothering him and just gave him all the support as a father should. This was not the norm as I in the PAST I would not have the patience to listen to his venting. This time…See More

Day #2- The precious gift of Time...

Today I woke up feeling great and decided that my gift today would be the giving of my time. I took the time out of my day and gave it to my two dogs(Pax and Diver) and just really spent the day nurturing them and taking them to the dog park for the majority of the day. I gave them baths, played fetch, and just really devoted the whole day to them. To top it off they both got their favorite treats....Frozen yogurt! It was a so fulfilling to give my time to my pets. I'm sure that they were as…See More

Day #8- A gift of Baseball

Posted on April 24, 2010 at 1:19pm 2 Comments

I have a really good friend who all he does is work, but he absolutely loves baseball. So on Day #8 I invited him to come with me for a dinner with the president of the Arizona diamondbacks and Luis Gonzalez( a former all-star player) that I bought at a charity auction. We got to go to the stadium and have dinner with the two mentioned above and then had great seats for the game. Also got to go into the clubhouse area to say hi to a former player who now coaches for the team and who i got to… Continue

Day #7--Smells like Roses!

Posted on April 24, 2010 at 1:13pm 3 Comments

Well with all this gift giving and stuff, I actually forgot about my wife so today I decided that I would go into the backyard and cut her off some roses from the rose bush that we have out there. I cut off a few and put them in a little nice vase and left a note for her that this was my gifting for the day. She was very receptive and I could tell that she really appreciated it even though sometimes she tries to act like she doesn't! :) All in all , I felt that it was a great choice of giving… Continue
