Day 29: My final day of giving challenge! 11-23-09
On this day, I gave my sister the gift of forgiveness. We had been estranged for several weeks and I struggled to forgive for the things she had done. However, after participating in this giving challenge, I realized that forgiving her was the best gift I could both her and myself.

Day 28: Allowed a person in a hurry to move ahead of me in the grocery line, 11-22-09
Today I went to the grocery store to purchase food for my dinner. While in the checkout line, I spoke to a woman behind me who was in a hurry to get through the checkout line to get to church. I allowed her to move ahead of me in line.

no longer occupied by preoccupations.
What possibly could all this mean
I took that walk, Somehow I'd mastered the art of the flustered mind and that remained perturbed by m…
Wow, you inspire me. Thanks.
I have been so busy that i haven't had time to blog! I give something
