In a world where some people are all about taking, I love giving my time to beautifully giving people like my life-long friend, Barbara.

That photo was taken by a giving guy who was also giving his attention to three dogs.

Barbara and I have been giving each other support for close to 70 years and I’m always giving thanks for my friendship with her.

Yesterday we were both giving thanks for nature giving us such a beautiful day.

On Good Samaritan Day and Treat Yo’ Self Day, I’m giving a shout out to giving to others AND to yourself.
My giving music producer Riccardo Pearlman is giving me clips like this to share on TikTok:

After giving some time to that, I just posted it on TikTok! I need to be giving more thought about how to get more traction there.
Here’s a link to my current TikTok profile:

As usual, I’m giving thanks to all my wonderful readers, including YOU!

I love your long friendship with Barbara and the gifts in the hollow of the tree. both wonderful
Thank you, my wonderfully giving friend.
It is Canadian Thanksgiving and I am giving thanks for my family and friends, including you. I wish I had some helpful tips about Tik Tok for you, but I have never used it. However, I have noticed that you usually master things you put your mind to, and so I think I will be following you to Tik Tok one day soon. 🙂
As usual, Maureen, you are giving me support and hope about the future.
It is a true gift that you and Barbara give support to each other through the decades, Ann.
Thanks for the gift of this comment, my giving friend.
I had a marvelous morning yesterday tabling with the Dane (county) Dems at the Madison Farmers’ Market. The Raging Grannies came and set up next to us, which gathered a huge crowd. Talk about giving – we had piles of bumper stickers and clothing stickers and window signs and yard signs, and by the time I left, there were only a few yard signs left, but that’s because we had several bundles of them – I think only 2 bundles were left undone. I was handing them out hand over fist. A big favorite in window signs said Harris/Walz on one side and Badgers (University of Wisconsin mascot) for Harris/Walz on the other. And when someone picked one of them, I asked if they had two windows, upon which many took two. Twas a grand day for giving!
Thanks for giving to the good of the country, Barbara!
