31 Days of Giving!

03 December 2009 By crazymrsnancy 2

I read this idea on Mrs. Lukie's blog : 

Ready to hear it? Your challege, should you choose to accept it...

    ...is to give something, to someone, every day of the month, and then blog about it (at your leisure!) The goal is to act with kindness, generosity, hospitality and love. This does not require money or even having to leave the comfort of your home (though it would be AWESOME if you do!) You can volunteer or donate your time/old clothes/extra food/etc. You can pay someone a compliment on their smile or their sweater. Send an encouraging email to someone who may need it. A text message to someone, just to let them know you're thinking about them. Just do something ...anything!... out of the kindess of your heart for another person. Even when you're feeling crabby, are pressed for time, or just plain ol' don't wanna.

I think that this is a FANTASTIC idea, and what a great month to do this too? This is the month to do the little things I always say I'll do someday but seldom do.. like giving a random person on the street some spare change.

I think that I'll write a "31 Days of Giving" update every 7 days or so. I'm still enjoying the break after nablopomo so I don't want to promise daily blogs hehe. Here's what's on my list so far: (And please, I really don't want to come off as show offing or anything, I'm just throwing this fantastic idea out there and hoping to inspire others to do the same!) 

Dec 1 - Sent Christmas cards to all the people that I love (at least the ones whose addresses I have) and that includes sending a card with a Thank You message to an awesome administrative support girl at head office.

Dec 2 - Took a 2 hour lunch, picked up Sophie and we went to the mall where I helped her pick out a dress for her Christmas party. (And we found an awesome one that gives her an incredible hour glass figure. Very elegant and classy. Best part - It was 50% off on sale! 

Dec 3 - Gave a donation to Simon (Rebecca's Dog) for his expensive but crucial surgery. http://helpsimon.blogspot.com/
