29-Day Giving Challenge

Yesterday was not the easiest day for me.  Family, work, nothing felt right or good.  I didn't really think I would be able to come up w/ a gift at all, I just wasn't feeling "giving."  But on my break at work I noticed one of my co-workers had brought those yummy "World's Best Chocolate" bars, as a fund-raiser for her daughter's marching band.  I remembered I have a 5 dollar bill in my purse.  Yay!  I bought 5 and left them out in our work area for my co-workers.  I hope they loved them!  I can't say my day was awesome, but it did get better.  My family was very kind after I got home (despite my earlier grumpiness), and that little bit of giving really did remind me that how I feel about my life is in my control.

A great example of how even when you are feeling lousy, you still showed kindness and commitment to giving!  Well done, hope you're feeling much brighter today!  x

A lousy day would have made it tempting to eat all 5 of those yourself!!  Way to go!

Good for you.  It's amazing how one little act can turn things around.

I'm glad things turned around for you....I know I can say myself, been there done that with the non-giving feeling. But you found a way, lifted many spirits including your own.
