Day 9

I missed a day!  Yesterday, I spent a ton of time selecting ornaments and gifts for a holiday exchange that I am participating in.  While I will receive a gift back, I LOVE finding just the perfect gift for the person whose name was assigned to me.  I actually spent several afternoon naps browsing the internet, and yesterday I was able to commit.

Day 8

When we first joined our church, I was thrilled to hear that our local food pantry was connected with the church!  Every time it would come up, I would feel a tug toward volunteering.  But I was always too busy.  Today, I signed up!  As someone who has never known hunger, I want to share that with others.  Dave and I are semi-regular donators, but I needed to take it to the next level.  First thing this morning, I signed up and added myself to their volunteer calendar.  I am feeling really happy and excited about this!!!

Day 7

As I was taking my morning walk today in 35 degree weather, I realized that my deed for today should involve warmth.  I am donating extra hats, scarves and gloves that we have at our house so that someone else can be as warm as we are.

Day 6

Today is Orphan Sunday.  http://orphansunday.org/im-excited-about-orphan-sunday-2012/

I love to help out causes, and parentless children are close to my heart.  I am, however, a fan of helping those close to home.  In honor of Orphan Sunday, I will be donating baby blankets to a local church for children in need.

Day 5

My darling husband's back and neck are always sore.  We had a long day of cleaning the house and errands, so for my kind deed, I will give him a massage.

Day 4

A hidden card!  This card is for a very special person who follows my blog so I can't reveal that person's identity!

Day 3

Today I was at a loss for ideas!  I ended up heading to Target early this evening after a tough day with L.  I had to do a return and the lady behind me in line was so frazzled with her 2 kids running all over.  I allowed her to go ahead of me in line.  She didn't say thank you, but I am guessing she was a tad overwhelmed.  Sometimes it is the small things that make life better, and I hope I made her day a little bit less stressful.
