Rd 11 Day 13 ~ Turkey Time

I statred a tradition with our Girl Scouts about 10 years ago. We collect food and make Thanksgiving baskets for families in need in our community. Although I am not running the event this year it is still going strong.Well someone called to find out if we still needed turkeys and so I said yes of course! and I took the time to go to their house and collect the turkey and a box of food for the scouts. I am storing the turkey till Tuseday when they will be putting the baskets together.

Rd 11 Day 12~ Little Surpises

I had a Chiropractic and massage appointment tonight and before i left the massage room I left a rock that i painted that said Kindness Rocks on it with a 29 gifts tag for my massage therapist to find. I also set a bookmark and tag on the purse of a lady in the waiting room without her seeing me do it. I love fun gives like this.

Rd 11 Day 11~ A receive turns into a give.

I awoke this morning to a the phone ringing and a little voice (my niece) on the other end inviting me to have breakfast. So I accepted of course what could be better than breakfast with my two favorite little ones(my niece and nephew)! before I got into the shower my brother called back and asked if I could pick up a gallon of milk and the newspaper on my way down to their house. SO there was my give handed to me on a breakfast plate!

Rd 11 Day 10~ Wii Fit

Today I made time for myself to exersize. I have a Wii Fit and can not say enough good things about it. I worked out for 30 minutes. and set a goal to work out at least 30 minutes 5 days a week. So I gave to myself today.
I also tried a new recipe for brussels sprouts tonight. so that was a give to my family.

Rd 11 Day 8~ Crafts to share

My mom ran a Craft workshop for all the girl scouts in our service unit. The purpose was to make items for each month of the year to donate to Meals on Wheels for their trays of food, and for the girls to take to local nursing homes in our area. I help out for the day! It was a fun day for all the girls.
A secondary give was buying a $5 gift card from Subway to give to the next person in line.

Thank you Stacey. To add one important note. Dad had a tough night when he was at the hospital and as I massaged his neck and back sobbing, annointing him with my tears.
He said "Son, this is life". I took that profound statement and shared it with my wonderful friend who has a great walk with the Lord. Dave listened to me and then said 'that is you dad saying I'm okay, all is well, all is well'. I've shared that with all my direct family and all friends who called the house to check on dad. It has become my spiritual and emotional bedrock. Otherwise I'd probably be a blubbering idiot! Thanks again for your kind words. With much love and appreciation-Peter

Hi Stacey,

Thanks for the nice welcome! Today is Day 1 so I thought I'd post and say "hi" back.

Warm regards,
Sylvia

Hey Stacey, I have been making this soup with organic pumpkin, onion, apples, and chicken broth at the end some yogurt instead of sour cream and sometimes I throw in chicken too, and some spices of course.

Cathleen, Even though you haven't read the book your off to a great start. Isn't it amazing that when we put a little focus into giving we can easily figure out what needs to be given. Enjoy the weekend and happy giving!
