13. 3 gifts round

• Oranges.  Yum.

• Enough quarters for parking today.  I always forget to bring some.

• Cupcake.  Took one, then gave it away to some little girls who don't understand the concept of "there's no more..."  Sigh.  Bittersweet, I would have loved that cupcake.  BUT, it meant that I was able to be saved from extra carbs...

14. 3 gifts found in silence

• Rest for my introverted self.

• Sanity.

• Sleep. 

15. 3 gifts given away

• Cupcake that was supposed to be a treat after fasting 30 hours.  I had gave it away to some little girls who don't understand the concept of "there's no more..."  Sigh.  Bittersweet, I would have loved that cupcake.  BUT, it meant that I was able to be saved from extra carbs...

• Purse that I bought in a vain gesture, but then was convinced by wiser girls (aka youth group girls) that my current purse must be used until it falls apart--get what you need, not what you simply want.  Gave it away to Narutobridesmaid who recently misplaced her own purse.  Felt a supreme sense of accomplishment, especially since we were helping her with a makeover.  :)  Made me take a look at my spending choices.

• Giving away clothes...letting go of my need to hoard stuff and materialistic tendencies, decluttering the room, and counting my blessings.
