Okay, I haven't been following the 29 Gifts like I should. It's been off and on that I've remembered to do anything. Today, however, I remembered!A couple of days ago I made some gluten-free chocolate chip cookies from Bob's Red Mill mix following the directions except replacing the oil with pumpkin. Needless to say, they are yummy! So yummy, in fact, that I've been eating four each night when I get home. Not a good trend to start.
So this morning I brought in half the cookies I had left and gave them to another person in the office who is avoiding wheat.
This gift had several parts to it. The motivation was fairly selfish--I wanted to get the cookies out of my house so I would stop eating them. However, I was glad to give the cookies away to someone who would enjoy them without worry.
And one more thing, I have a hard time giving food away. It's strange, but I am always afraid I'm going to run out of food. (Not really a true worry.) Just subconsciously, I act on a basis of scarcity and try to hoard food and dislike sharing. So giving away the cookies also was a training exercise for me to let food go.
