I'm doing 31 things
Hurray! I’ve managed to get my shoebox packed full of toys and goodies for underpriviledged children into the drop off point today. I’m so glad I was able to do it. I even decided it would be a nice time to donate some money over to the charity hosting the event. It is for Christmas, after all. Now if only I could try get into this charitable contribution frame of mind for times other than just Christmas. Well, at least I’m getting there (I hope)! :)

I'd meditate in front of this everyday to encourage myself into finishing all the days. At first it was something of a chore, definitely for the 1st week it was something of a challenge.

Wow. This is a great start to my goal, and if this isn’t a sign I should strive onward, I don’t know what is!
