This week has been extremely trying. The most I was able to give this week was patience and a shoulder to cry on and it was daily, 7 days of patience and a couple days of a shoulder.
My spirit was low by Wednesday and I needed a release. Then I received a gift of a shoulder to cry on, which felt so good. It made me realize that I am giving a true gift when I give patience and a shoulder. The people receiving it are grateful and feel a bit lighter. Continue

It feels good to give.

Since I started this 29 day giving challenge I have given away coffee (decorated elegantly), purchased lunch for someone who really needed it, gave away our services for a party to two people, and I cannot remember the rest.

I just spent from June 1st to August 9th caring for my mother. It was the best giving I've ever done.

My mother is finally at peace and I miss her greatly. As much as my heart ached for her while alive watching her in pain, my heart aches now because I miss her so much. I dont have any regrets, I cared for her the best I could and gave my all. I know she died knowing she was loved.

It was the most exhausting giving I have done, and I certainly didnt see it as giving some days, it was hard.. but I am so glad I did.

Trying to make my moms last days the best they could possibly be was also a gift to myself.

Thanks for the comment! Teachers are unappreciated these days. Our classroom mothers do a good job at spoiling ours.
