a journey of life

• Day 8 : Wednesday, November 19

Canned Goods.  One of my Mama groups collected food for a food pantry and I contributed.

• Day 9 : Friday, November 21
  

Dinner.  A couple of friends were in town and came over for dinner.  I know that making dinner isn’t that exciting, nor that big of a deal, but I did make salad and homemade pizza from scratch.  I think I can count that, yes?

• Day 10 : Monday, November 25
  

Care Package.  A friend of the family had recently been in the hospital so I sent her a care package in the mail.

• Day 11 : Tuesday, November 26
  

Camera.  I gave my mom my old digital camera so she can take pictures AND movies with it.

• Day 12 : Wednesday, November 27
  

An extra tip.  I gave the woman who did my hair a larger than normal tip.

• Day 13 : Thursday, November 28
  

Thank you gift.  A family member went through the trouble of making Thanksgiving for a whole slew of people.  She wouldn’t let us help or bring anything, so I gave her a little gift for her efforts.  This really doesn’t count in my mind, though.  It was more like an even trade.  However, I am going to send her the recipe for ginger lemonade.

• Day 14 : Friday, November 29
  

Shoes.  Matt had some shoes he was no longer wearing, so we gave them away to someone who could get some more wear out of them.

• Day 15 : Saturday, November 30
  

T-shirts and socks.  Matt has about a thousand t-shirts and several of them he never wears for one reason or another.  So, we gave about five hundred t-shirts to my brother.  Along with a slew of socks that are never worn.

• Day 16 : Wednesday, December 3
  

Gift Card.  In one of the Mama groups, a member is moving away at the end of this year, so we all pitched in and bought her a gift certificate.

• Day 17 : Friday, December 5
  

Advice.  A friend of mine needed what I call a “gut check”, so I hope I was of some help and my advice was useful.

• Day 18 : Sunday, December 7
  

Christmas Toy.  One of my Mama groups collected Toys for Tots and we made a donation.

• Day 19 : Monday, December 8
  

Dinner.  Again, not sure if this really counts, but the fact that I actually managed to make dinner these days is such an accomplishment, so I feel as if I must.  Matt’s parents just got back from a long trip and after Matt picked them up at the airport, I made salad and brie fondue for dinner.
