29-Day Giving Challenge

Today, I left a Post-it note in a public washroom ("Relax. Breathe. Enjoy this beautiful day!" - it was sunny for the first time in several days). Then I left a dime on a bus stop bench, and later, I sent an e-card to my friend/client, in the hopes of both supporting her and giving her an entertaining distraction for a few minutes. 

I tried to take a photo of a woman with two babies (she was taking a photo of them by the water), and she said they weren't hers, but she thanked me anyway. 

My giving feels pretty weak, but I'm not sure what else to do... I go through episodes of hopelessness a few times a day, yet I know that if it weren't for giving, even if it's not much, that feeling would be 10x worse. Giving helps me to believe it will turn around.

Hope you all had good Tuesdays. Cheers!

your Post-It note gives are one of my favorites...i keep meaning to copy you but so far i've only gotten as far as putting the Post Its in my car. i'll get into the store or whatever and say "Darn! i forgot again!" sooner or later, i'll get it together :-P  you seem to be almost constantly on the lookout for ways to give, i really admire that in you. hope you have a good night and wake up smiling tomorrow. Hugs, Dawn xoxo

The post-it will make someone smile and feel good, that one is a biggie! You don't give lightly, you give from your heart. You do have a huge heart..
