Shelli managed to tag me. I guess I didn’t run fast enough! So here goes…..
1) Post a note about a blogger you would like to see something wonderful happen for. Maybe one whose posts have touched your heart in one way or another. Include details as to why you admire them and what you wish for them. Be as supporting and affirming as you can. I choose Amber from “Life of an Everyday Princess“. She has been through too many heartbreaks in her young life. She has also had too many of adulthood’s responsibilities thrust upon her. Though she has limited support(financially and emotionally) she keeps a positive outlook and has ‘put on her big girl panties’ and started a new job and school. I admire the determination she shows every day of her life. I think Amber deserves something wonderful because she is always giving of herself to the point of exhaustion. I think she deserves at least one “perfect day”.
2) Post your favorite memory around selflessness, giving, or doing for others. Something that has actually changed you. About 10 years ago, Hubs was out of work on disability. Unfortunately, there was a dispute between Workman’s Comp and Disability about who would be giving us money. From June on we fought through lawyers to get this resolved,with no luck. Christmas rolled around and we had no credit cards, all of our bills were in collection and our car was going to be repossessed.I called my friend and finally broke down telling her exactly how bleak things looked for us.She mentioned it to her neighbor who was also in difficulty. “M” was receiving assistance that Christmas from 3 different churches and neighborhood groups.(She had a lot of kids) Well, she shared her wealth with me. Turkey dinner with all the trimmings, children’s clothes for Babygirl and sporting good store gift cards. There were socks and underwear, and even some toys and games. I will never forget that incredible act of charity at a time when Hubs and I were devastated at the thought of not having Christmas for our kids.
3) As a postscript, name one thing you will actually do for someone in your life before December 31 that is born out of joy.I will be watching some little ones so that their Moms and Dads can shop for their last minute items and so they can wrap those gifts. I will not be paid for this and we will be making crafty things for their Mommys.
4) Tag 3 other bloggers who will play the game and find the spirit. Don’t forget to leave a comment on their blog so they continue to share the good feelings. Hey!! Hey you! Come back! Don’t make me chase you down!! Dammit, You’re making me run with my boobies flopping all over! You’ll pay for this! I tag Teri, Turnbaby and Vugar Wizard. Don’t let me down ladies!!
