Days 15-19 Feb 22-26, 2013

Feb 22- feel much happier each day. Today is Friday, and I'm happy for the weekend. I worked all day but I was happy. I find myself feeling like I have given something everyday, even when I think back and can't remember specifics. If you don't count giving happiness, hard work, and encouragement gifts to others, like my guests and coworkers, I'm not sure I get the point of this.Feb 23- Saturday, I was up diving early, and my instructor let me carpool with him which I was really grateful for. I…See More

Feb 19th - gifted my co-worker Kris with a night off, and picked up her shift. So glad I did, since I actually got called off for work the following Thursday, so I really need the money now. Cleaned the kitchen today, also a nice gift to myself and Josh.Feb 20th - I gave myself and others the gift of patience today when things weren't working in my favor. Cordial while frustrated, angry yet unconfrontational.Feb 21st - Gave a book to a coworker again today, a different co-worker. She thinks…See More

Days 12-13, Feb 17th and 18th, 2013

Feb 17th - Had my brother and my niece over for the afternoon. I spent a few hours with them, playing outside and we had a small lunch at home here. I gifted my niece with some love and patience - as I'm not very comfortable with children and am still getting used to even having her around, so I am still adjusting. They had lunch at my house too, and I gave her some things she found interesting in the house, that she could play with. My brother asked for a spare mattress of mine, so he took…See More

2/15 - a small gift, but still something: Gave a few fruit cups to co-workers, instead of taking them home. I meant to take 4 home, instead of throwing them away at the end of the week, and gave the other 4 out, then I offered some to another coworker, who also took them home, so I gave him "mine."2/16 - Boyfriend's mother's birthday party today, I gifted her for her birthday, but I also went diving in the morning with my boyfriend and he needed some assistance in the water, and I am always…See More

Feb 11th - I worked from 7am to 3:30, and 4:00 to 11pm. I was pooped. My gift today was being thankful I have the ability to work, and my gift to others was that I wasn't complaining. As a server in a restaurant, it's so common to try and give up your shift, pawn off tables, and just be lazy. I pulled my weight, didn't complain, and worked. And I was greatful for it. :)Feb 12th - boyfriend's birthday is tomorrow. I treated him (and myself) to a wonderful tasting menu at the best place we have…See More

Restarted my 29 gifts this last week after a few months of not keeping a record. 2/7 - gifted a book to a co-worker. We had talked books and I told her she should read "Ender's Game" so I brought it in for her, and recommended a friend's new book, "Zoe Thanatos" to download as an ebook. :) She was happy. And I promoted my friend's book! 2/8 - Helped out yet another coworker. He sliced off a CHUNK of finger cutting up some veggies, and blood was everywhere. No one was managing it well, and I…See More

Day 10, 10-26

Headed down to the my parents's house today. I stopped at the Safeway in King City and bought some different colored daisies, they were $2.50 per bouquet, so I bought two. I grabbed napkins and wet them, then wrapped rubber bands around each stem with the wet napkin, to keep the daisies hydrated. I used a gift-tag and wrote: "A Gift for you, Please take one." I brought the bouquet into the women's rest-stop, at a really busy one on the 101, and left the bouquet there by the paper towel…See More

Day 6, 10-22

I have felt this fizzle out for me. I have been so inspired, but I'm just sitting at home, and interactions here are brief and infrequent. I was blessed today - a friend picked me up and took me down to the CA Disability office so I could get a hold of someone. That was really nice. I treated her to lunch, since she drove me to my errand.Aside from that, I donated 1500 grains of Rice on www.freerice.com which is a GREAT site for giving. And I clicked on…See More

day 2. (Yesterday)

I have needed much help in the last 3.5 weeks, since my motorcycle accident. My brother has been helpful, driving me places, visiting me, and checking up on me, even buying a lunch or two! My boyfriend of 4 years has done nothing but care for me and support me through this, as he has an accident earlier in the year, and I took care of him during that time. He now sees the patience and constant care that I put in to keep him together. :-) And my Mom, she came up twice (a 200+ mile drive from her…See More
