29-Day Giving Challenge

Yesterday, a friend's gift to me to me arrived in the mail. I had a motorcycle accident that landed me on disability for a short time, and in the hospital and surgery. I've been bored and sitting at home. She sent me her favorite book. 29 Gifts. I red it in one day yesterday. I started the challenge today.

It feels as though my day is filled with tiny gifts- offers to help, gift of joy from my puppy to play outside with me in the sun, gifts of love everywhere.

Maybe I need to focus more on strangers, or people I don't normally offer myself out to.

I'm going to let today be open, and see what opportunity arises. My mantras today are: "I give with Abundance" and "I give with joy" because I'm happy to be alive on this beautiful day and grateful for my amazing support structure all around me.

For today, my most thoughtful gift was listening to a friend and encouraging her through her struggles.

I have recieved so much love and care from people today, it's astounding. And a small gift to me: my brother and I are heading to a friend's BBQ, that I'm now able to attend, because he's driving me there! :-D
