Give On, Give On, Give Until Your Gifts are You - Day 5

Maya Angelou:

"I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver."

 

Too hot to venture outside today.  Beginning to realize that through giving, I might just begin to view myself as a gift. Although I've always seen myself as a good person, there have been many times throughout my life, that I haven't liked myself... always expecting to be more than I was capable of being.  Accepting acceptance is a new found goal. Accepting myself for who and what I am may be a difficult challenge made easier through the 29 Day Giving Challenge.

 

My gifts today are simple gifts.  My husband told me he would like his t-shirts bleached.  Bleached them.  Received a call from a charity for childhood cancer.  Donated.  My dog will receive a bath and have her nails trimmed.  The bathroom upstairs will be cleaned.  If time and energy allow, I will put together a bag or two of clothing for the Vietnam Vets to pick up.

 

As I continue along this newly found path, I am more and more honored to be a small part of this community.

You were able to be creative with your giving today, and made a difference for many, including your darling pet who now smells wonderfully fresh and has beautiful nails! Take care, I am blessed to meet you!

Your gifts are wonderful and you are most certainly correct, YOU are a gift and we are very happy to have you here giving and sharing with us. I love the quote! Maya Angelou is one of my favorite ladies.
