I have really really enjoyed doing this! Some days I'd get home and think : Oh crap, I forgot to give something to someone today! And then realized I had actually given something to someone. I think I'm just a very generous person in general. Sometimes naively generous. (You know how I can't say no..) But doing this, especially during this time of year, made me make a conscious effort to do it everyday and it felt great!
This is great!
cool post. I bet you feel good about all the giving too! Congrats!
I know something you didn't list for earlier in the month, so that can count for the 27th ;-).
You're a good person, my friend. Hope you had a fabulous NYE!
I think everything you did was great! Way to go!
