12 Days of Giving #2
The challenge today is to Give someone else a break.
This is an easy one to do for people with small children. Watching someone else’s kids for a couple hours to allow them to have kid free time to shop can be a huge huge help. But everyone can use a little hand once in a while. When you head to the post office, are there packages you could take for a neighbor? If you live in an area that has snow on the ground, can you shovel one more section of sidewalk for someone you know?
It’s opening up our eyes to see what’s actually happening around us that’s the challenge, especially when our to-do list and shopping list seems overloaded already. One small thing can make a big difference in another person’s life.
Give it a shot–make someone’s day!
I’ve got a 1o$ iTunes gift card for one person to take their own break after the holidays. Add any comment today to be entered to win. And make sure you’ve placed your name on the first of the 12 Days with your suggestion of charity.

I help the older lady who lives on our lane she has cancer and I am always stopping and asking her if she needs anything on my way out ..
I work in a hospital. I find that taking the time to say hello and just be there to listen when someone needs it. I think that makes such a big difference.
Stacy, especially in that setting a moment of kindness is huge. Many visitors are very uptight because of the unknown of dealing w illness and treatment, so even that hello touches hard.

I am a medical professional and on my days off, I go to the neonatal nursery and feed the babies that don't have families that visit them. Babies need touch as it helps them grow. And I am addicted to babies...babie fever! Lol
