November 1st

Since I just decided to do this today I wasn't really prepared but thought a lot about it today.  I don't have a lot of extra money so I want to think of some ways to give other things besides money.  I needed to return some books I had borrowed from a friend today so I gave them back in a pretty bag I had bought a long time ago at Barnes and Noble.  I also included a note telling her how much her friendship meant to me.  The neat part was I don't think she realized that I gave her the bag as a gift and she didn't see the card until after I left so I'm sure that will be a surprise to her also.  Sometimes it's nice to get recognized for your giving but other times it's nice to do it in secret!  I want to try and get my family and my childcare families involved also.  It's going to be a fun month!
