I am woefully behind in posting (what else is new?) but I will spare you the excuses and get right down to business!
My gift for Day 19 was the gift of Hospitality. Some of you may be familiar with Ross's blog (Painfully Optomistic), where he chronicles his daily life while living with CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). Ross sent me an email about a month ago letting me know he and his wife would be vacationing in Maui and would I be able to give him a few recommendations on things to do while they're here?
We traded a few emails and I suggested he pick up a copy of Maui Revealed, a resourceful book that we have found helpful. Ross wasn't able to track down a copy of the book where he lives, so therein lay the opportunity for my gift.
I asked Ross for his condo information and made arrangements to drop off a copy of the book so that he had one on hand when he checked in. I picked up a fresh copy from the bookstore and filled out a small postcard welcoming he and his wife to the islands.
Ross, I hope you're relaxing and enjoying your well-deserved vacation. Aloha!

I love this!!! That's so nice of you! I'm glad Ross is on a beautiful, relaxing vacation! He needs it and definitely deserves it! You're such a sweetheart! xx
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet gift and I love how these opportunities keep popping up for you. Some days I feel like I'm forcing it and have actually thought about starting over at day 1. I've decided though that I will complete the 29 days first...and then with a renewed dedication do it again. I'm sure that the Universe won't mind :-)...
ReplyDeleteI hope you are being gentle with yourself about your postings. I've seen so many women actually drop their blogs because they put too much pressure on themselves to post every day. I love reading your blog, but surely understand that you must have a life outside of blogland to have something to share...right? I must now go and see what that pretty little party spaniel is howling at :-). ~Blessings, Janet
Hi Angie! Thanks again for the book. We are finding it most useful and "yes" we are having a very relaxing vacation!!
ReplyDeleteLove this gift! I just finished reading this book cover to cover and have found it so helpful for our upcoming trip. I'm sure he was thrilled to receive it!
