I have neither given up the challenge or lost the ability to post, I have simply shifted direction a bit. I have greatly appreciated reading posts from many of you and learning new ideas about what gifting really can be for each of us. That having been said, a few years ago I became active in a 12 step recovery program One of the early "suggestions" I was given was that I was to do something nice for someone every day but was forbidden to discuss it with anyone with the exception of…See More

Awful? I think not Honest, but certainly not awful. You made a decision to become willing to…"
Ravenmoon commented on douglasb's blog post Day Six"Love it Doug. I was reminded tonight that we are often gifts in ways that we can't even begin to imagine and the only way to give those gifts is to be the most honest self (to thine own self be true) we can be at every given moment."
douglasb posted a blog postDay Six
I realized a few days ago that it had been a long time since I had been in the county jail and that I needed to return :). A few years ago I received clearance to attend a weekly twelve step meeting in our county jail and then attended a few until other commitments on Tuesdays caused me to put that service on the back burner. I realized tonight that it was probably better that I had been away for a while as it felt quite differently than it had before. I can only attribute this to an…See More
Ann commented on douglasb's blog post Days Four and Five"Doug, -- they are indeed gifts -- and it isn't it nice when our gifts to others are also gifts to ourselves. "
douglasb posted a blog postDays Four and Five
Sunday ( Day Four) found me rather uninspired and , I suspect, uninspiring. Rather than force an issue or become overly critical of my willingness or imagination I decided to let the day proceed as it may. Upon retiring, I simply accepted the day for what I thought it was, without regrets,and asked for guidance. Today, Day Five, presented me with the opportunity to pick up a friend/mentor, buy us some coffees and share our lives for an hour or so, and transport him to his…See More
Ann commented on douglasb's blog post Days Two and Three"Those were great gifts. It took a lot of courage to be honest with your boss regarding the processes at work. I hope he was able to listen and respect your opinions. The clothing will surely help many less forunate people stay warm…"

A most simple day. I sent text messages to two persons who I have not seen in some time to let them know I was thinking of them. When one of them replied "you just made my day" it reinforced how easy it was to add to another persons life. doug
