I said some heartfelt prayers for a couple of friends (Scott with back problems and Peg who is trying to sell her home).Thank you for all who have commented on my blog posts. I appreciate the support and good luck in your giving endeavors.Peace and Aloha!See More

Day 22 - I wrote and sent a heartfelt thank you note to my friend Linda.Day 23 - I wrote a note on the CaringBridge site to my friend, Mary.Day 24 - I intended on giving blood as my gift for today, but the universe intervened and literally put someone in my path who needed my help.

She thanked me.The next door neighbor brought over some homemade bread. Yum!See More

There was nothing remarkable about my gifts today. My husband caught the stomach flu that my daughter and I had a few days ago. He was in bed most of the day. I made him rice and applesauce and made a special trip to the store for ginger ale. Nothing remarkable, but he was extremely appreciative.At my daughter's swimming lesson, I started a conversation with another mother.
