About Giving

I read this article the other day. (I love to read- I read anything- from chappie papers to billboards, to car registration numbers to boring novels...anyway)It was about a lady who decided to forget her own grief (she is terminally ill if I remember correctly- I love to read, not neccisarily to remember the facts!) and try do good to others...so she wrote this book about 29 gifts. basically it is about doing something nice to/for someone else, everyday for 29 days. the wonderful thing, is that it does not have to be something big...give a hug to an old lady, buy a candybar for the lady working behind the check-out till where you shop, water your neighbours flowers while they are away, without them knowing or asking...stuff lke that. So that really inspired me, cause just last week I had an experience of someone doing something small and unneccisary for me and it really made my day much brighter. I am not much of a good doer as a rule...but I thought I would give this a try...so today I gave money (I do not neccisarily have) to someone who needed it. (probably less than I needed it- but I think that's the point). Apparenly after 28 more of these, my life and how I see myself will change...could only be a good thing I reckon? Will let you know how it goes...
