29-Day Giving Challenge

Today I came across two couples, each taking photos of the other. I offered to take a picture of all four of them, only to learn a) that they didn't know each other (but were just helping each other out) and b) that I'd made the offer to one of the couples at least once before!

As I was walking, someone asked me directions to the casino (that's a new type of gift - nobody's asked me that before). I pointed him in the right direction and wished him good luck.

I put a Post-it ("Smile - You are a gift to the world. Have a wonderful day!") on the mirror in a public washroom. I think I probably (anonymously) have a reputation as the "blue Post-it bandit" in a few places, so at least this was a different location :)  I was nearly caught, but I managed to get out of the washroom before anyone saw me.

I placed a loonie (dollar coin) in the planter of a raised tree. Then I worried, because I'd placed it under some leaves... but worst case scenario, a gardener finds it. 

I thought I was feeling pretty calm today, until I talked to my sister. Then I realized how much resistance and (useless) worry I'm really feeling. She reminded me that I'm doing the footwork - I've put out all kinds of feelers, contacted everyone I know - and that worry really doesn't accomplish anything except making myself feel worse. Which is so true. I used to know that, and I used to have an easier time remembering it. Or maybe I should just say, today I had a hard time remembering.

Hope you all had relaxing Sundays! Cheers!
