Day One

     Starting a blog was definitely NOT on my to-do list today. The thought just came to me about an hour ago. Now I have a blog.... WHAT?!?!?! Two days ago a friend said that I should start a blog. The comment immediately received a sarcastic response something along the lines of... "Ok, great idea. What should I blog about? All the dust bunnies taking over my house. I can take pictures of the dust bunny of the day." I have never had a desire to blog, never had a diary, and never wrote in a journal. Why do I have one now?
     Today I came across a video of Cami Walker. I have never heard of her or her book 29 Gifts. I was inspired to kick off my own 29 days of giving. What am I going to give? Your guess is as good as mine. I haven't a clue. Do you need something?
     I absolutely had to include my kids in this journey. I was not very much surprised by their response to the challenge. My 6 year old daughter was all for it and was already listing things that she could give. She created the design of this blog for us and I know she will be contributing.  My 4 year old son is not very interested in either giving things to others or trying to make them happy. This has now become my ultimate goal in the adventure..... make him change his mind about giving and creating happiness. Wish me luck I have a feeling that I am going to need it.
     For my first gift of the day, I have shared my plans along with the 29 Gifts website with a friend and am challenging her to do the same with her daughter. I am pretty confident that she will take me up on the offer and I truly believe that this will be a gift for them both. As for my sweet little Mimi, she has not decided on her gift yet. Stay tuned...
