The Challenge

This idea is wholly that of Jen's from her oh-so-inspiring blog, "A Year of Living Charitably". When I read her blog, I felt challenged to see if I could do what she and her family are doing this year, extending some charitable act each and every day.

Won't you join us?

PS - I'm not a daily blogger, so if you want daily, definitely read Jen's blog. This blog is mostly for my own amusement. If you are also amused, please check back every once in a while.

Piano Sitting!

Not often does charitable action give such a great tangible reward, but today we really hit the jackpot!

WHAT WE DID:
Our piano teacher called the other day. Her second cousin has just a couple of days to move and get their house ready to sell. They have an older baby grand piano that they need a home for ASAP! So we offered to house it for them for as long as they need it housed.

TIME SPENT:
About an hour in calls, emails, and delivery/set up.

IMPACT:
They were able to take care of something important - the piano - without a lot of hassle.

WORTH IT?
Heck ya! We are actually looking to buy an upright piano, but haven't been able to find one we want to buy. Both girls spent some time playing today, and Bekka even had a friend come over to play for a while this afternoon. Beautiful music filling the living room - definitely worth it!
