"Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer and wish we didn't..."
Day 5!
Intended my gift for today to be a going away present for a lady at work. I wrapped up a candle for her. But it didn't feel like my 'gift' or even like enough, so I ran out to the store at lunch and found a beautiful
Afghan. Perfect I thought! This is my gift. When I returned to my office, I had this overwhelming urge to keep the candle as the going away gift, and to wrap the afghan up for a colleague that I know has been struggling with a tremendous amount of personal change. So I wrapped the afghan up and put it on her desk while she was out of the office. This felt like my real give for the day!!
