about my wonderful surprise
My parents coming in for Thanksgiving,I don't think that I would have promised to report on my 29 days of giving.In fact,I may well have skipped it until after christmas.But I didn't know and I did sign up,so as it went.Once I got my head around the fact that it didn't always have to be a solid thing that was given,i.e a simple smile was enough some days,it was pretty easy to to get into the flow.Sometimes I would catch myself over thinking what I was going to give and sometimes the greatest of pleasure was making someone simply smile.As it comes to a close,I have learnt that it doesn't cost anything to make someone's day.Taking to time to stop and connect with those around us was enough in its self.Of course,I donated to charities,gave toys to toy drives,bought the unsuspecting person in the queue (line) behind me their coffee (that was always fun!!!) but I have found a balance and I will definitely do it again.
On another note,christmas is chasing at my heels like an underfed wolf,I can barely keep ahead.I don't want to rush it as time goes way to fast these days as it is but boy I can't wait to sit down with a strong cup of some sort of warm and alcoholic beverage (Yay bring on t he gluhwein)eat myself silly and watch my babes basking in the magic of christmas day.
We are enjoying the fires these days .
And,sorry but I won't be sending christmas cards this year as every time I tried to get a good shot for a card,I was met with something like this ::
So,happy holidays to one and all.
Love from myself and my rabble!!
