Joining a Challenge

Background:
29 Gifts: How 29 Days of Giving Can Change Your Life is a book by Cami Walker.  Mrs. Walker is an author who suffers from multiple sclerosis.  She transforms her health and life by choosing to embark on a month long journey of purposeful giving.

I'm joining the challenge:
I have found myself focused on the negative, the problems, issues, pain and suffering. I have actually caught myself not only listening to the office gossip but adding to it.  I have found my body and mind getting older and I haven't been fighting it. I have found that I am not behaving and acting like the person that I want to be.
On January 1st I sat down to read the book 29 Gifts for my book club.  I finished the book the same day.  Cami's story touched me.  It made me think that I too could make positive changed in myself by purposefully focusing on others and giving of myself is the first step.

What I'd most like to receive:
I would like to receive a renewed focus on life. I am truly blessed in life with a wonderful husband, 5 children and a job I love. I struggle with my weight and negativity both in my outlook in the world but more in the negative things I say and do to myself. While money is always an issue especially with my husband losing his job last year, it is not what I want to focus on. What I would like to receive is the renewed life that Cami received when she did the 29 day challenge. I want to find a spiritual connection and live life in a positive way
