Barbara Oeffner commented on Sharon D-29 Gifts Ambassador's group Quote of the Week"Another great quote! Thanks, Sharon. Here's one from my "Courage" book:
"We become more adept at rising to the occasion each time we see ourselves doing it. Every time we cope well with whatever real life throws our way,…"
Barbara Oeffner commented on Sharon D-29 Gifts Ambassador's group Quote of the Week"Your quote reminds me of a part of Shakespeare that I had to memorize:
"The good that a man does lives after him; the bad dies and is interred in his bones." (It's been awhile, so forgive me if this isn't quite it.)"
Barbara Oeffner commented on Sharon D-29 Gifts Ambassador's group Quote of the Week"O.K., Sharon that is very profound. Here is one in my "courage" book.
People are like tea bags. You find out how strong they are when you put them in hot water. ----Anonymous"
Barbara Oeffner commented on Sharon D-29 Gifts Ambassador's group Quote of the Week"Here is a quote from a book I found in the donated book box titled "The Language of Courage and Inner Strength".
We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and courage to stop what we shouldn't do. ---- Richard Evans"

One of you said that this giving challenge would expand my life. Well, I think more than anything, it has made me conscious of how I relate to others. I have always considered myself compassionate, but this challenge has made me aware of my little actions that were not. It has opened my heart to others in a way that I had not realized before. Giving things has always been easy for me. But giving a hug or kiss or compliment goes a lot further sometimes.

I have completed my 29 days of giving challenge and feel like I've accomplished a great deal. The posts have been simply amazing! You all are such generous givers and have such great ideas for gifts!

- My grandchildren are so precious! I just wish I lived closer to them, since they live in Virginia and I live in Florida. I'm still hanging on for round two! Tomorrow I'll give away some t-shirts for our Big Read campaign. We're reading "Fahrenheit 451" as a community. I haven't planned my "give" for today yet, but will have many opportunities.
