Friday Five

Posted on Dec 6th, 2008 by gina : Gaia Child gina
1) What gift(s) would you like to give the world?
I guess I would have to agree with my daughter's response in that we should give back to the world, what it has given to us...life, hope, prosperity and the vision to see beyond. 

2) What is the most unusual gift you have received?
The gift of a second chance.  Everyone should be so lucky as to receive a second chance to improve our quality of life.  Mine was literally to move from one situation to one that is proving to be more enlighten and peaceful.  Still things surround but not as it once was.  The eyes have opened up and the chance to begin again has started.
3) What do you like best about gift giving?
Rachel I would love to see those shirts!  Can you email me a picture of them?  Anyways on to the question.  I love to see the look in the eyes and feeling that comes from it.  Giving is the best that anyone could do, especially whilst in line and someone does not have that extra dollar for his / her groceries and you just reach into your pocket because you realize that someone had helped you out once and you need to pay it forward.  The look and the feeling comes across so bountiful.  No words of thanks are necessary.  It's the silence that holds the meaning.
4) What gifts do you want for the holidays?
I love gift cards.  I collect dragons, gargoyles and Fairies and would love to add to my collection.  Also, the Indiana Jones movie and of course, the Fedora that he wears.  Anything to do with crafting, paints, brushes etc and music by Tim McGraw and Toby Keith.  Lastly, Broken Bridges DVD.

             5) When has a gift(s) made you feel warm and fuzzy inside?

It was about 8 years ago when Greg and I started living together.  I was going through a rough spot.  I never put any emphasis on flowers or candy.  To me that was a waste of money.  I was feeling down one day and when Greg came home from work, he somehow knew that I was feeling low, he gave me some roses!  I could not believe it.  The warmth and the love that I felt at that moment was so intense.  You could see it in his eyes.

Hi Regina…I did post my Friday Five on the Gaia team page, but cannot resist coming here since you tagged me!

Your warm and fuzzy gift was so sweet! I think it is the surprises that matter most. I recently got a grade in my class and came down and danced with my honey, he helps me with editing papers. He sent me an ecard telling me how special I was and how much he admires how hard I work and determined I am….it was worth billions in gold to me!

:)

Blessings,

Aley
