Season of Giving: The final 4 Days and Recap!

I cannot believe that my Season of Giving is over!!  I am not sure if I feel a bit relieved that I completed my goal or sad that I don’t have a daily purpose anymore?  This has been such an amazing journey!!  I think this experience showed me just how much I have and how selfish I can be at times.   I am so fortunate to have a husband who can support my family and I am so lucky to have time to share it with others in need.   I see my life a bit differently now and I hope to continue my Acts of Kindness throughout 2012.  Thank you for reading, posting and joining me on this little adventure.

RECAP:

Day 1: donated hats, mittens, gloves, scarves and socks to a local church.

Day 2: Donated money to the Salvation Army

Day 3: Helped collect and deliver coats to a local coat drive

Day 4: I spoke at my grandmothers funeral service

Day 5: Paid a toll for the person driving behind me

Day 6: Sent a thank you note to my Mom

Day 7: Delivered the first round of gifts to the children in foster care

Day 8: Picked up litter in my neighborhood

Day 9: Brought dog treats to our local SPCA

Day 10: Delivered homemade “snowman” holiday gifts to my neighbors

Day 11: Dropped off a toy at a local Toys-For-Tots collection location

Day 12: My friend pre-paid postage for a random person mailing a package (Thanks for allowing me to post your own personal act of kindness Christina B.)

Day 13: Gave my mailman a gift

Day 14-19: Collaborative effort and huge collection of gifts for children in foster care.

Day 20: Handed out gifts to Gavin and Lincoln’s teachers.  Teachers have such a huge impact on children lives and I love to recognize their hard work and dedication with a little gifts and big thank you notes.  I am so fortunate to have 5 AMAZING teachers working with both Gavin and Lincoln this year.  Their kindness, patience, strength, positive attitudes and dedication make my boys LOVE school.  Teachers deserve so much credit for what they do so I always to try to recognize and thank them their efforts especially during the holiday’s.

My “gift pick” for Teachers, a PSA Essentials Personalized Stamp:

Perfect Teacher Gift

Day 21: Delivered the last set of gifts to social services and donated some additional clothing and toys to my local Salvation Army.

Day 22: Answered a free trivia question on freekibble.com. Anytime you answer a trivia question (right or wrong) 10 pieces of kibble are donated to the Human Society shelters all over the USA.

Day 23: Invited the neighbor’s children over to make gingerbread houses (gave their mama a bit of a break).

Day 24: Gave to my church and prayed for good tidings to all.

Day 25: Mission Accomplished and Merry Christmas!!!

Thanks for stopping by~
