Tonight, while at Target, I had about 20 items on the check-out belt and a lady walked up in line behind me and only had 2 items so I offered to let her go ahead of me. She was so gracious and thankful and it felt really good to make someone else happy over a simple act like that. Way to go with all the things you've been doing!!!!

I signed up too - and just saw they reached their original goal. Now they are trying for 20,000 givers! Good luck with finishing up your 29 days. You listed some really good (and creative) gifts you have given. Hope I will do as well - today is my Day 1. Think this might just the thing we ALL need in these troubling troubling times!

It's been really fabulous and I hope to continue on past the 29 days............
