Again today didn't really feel out of the norm for me in regards to giving. Perhaps I need to put it out there more clearly to the universe my deep desire to give. Maybe I'm not being open enough to opportunities. I love doing things for my friends, but today's gift is something I would have mindfully done anyway, even if I wasn't doing this challenge.
To be honest I want to give outside my comfort zone. Money to a homeless person. Something I've not done before. Perhaps I can talk Lobster into going dowtown tomorrow night so that I can seek out this gift and truly give consciously.
I think for me part of this challenge is to not only be mindful of the giving that I do but to also do it in a way that is new for me, in a way that lets me stretch my legs...and my mind...and my heart. Giving of any kind is always wonderful and it does bring joy, but to do it in a way that perhaps you normally wouldn't is, in my mind, even better, for it affords us more opportunity to grow.

This morning my friend M mentioned that she wanted to go out for lunch today. When she brought it up, I knew this would be my gift for the day. Buying her lunch is a small price to pay for the wonderful friendship she gives to me each day. We share some much of our lives with each other, and I tell that woman almost everything. She is an amazing mother, and a very hard worker. She inspires me just being around her. Not to mention her amazing sense of humor.
Today I give with love, gratitude, and joy!
My Happy Place
