Day 7 - T-bone
My gift was flipping a peace sign to an apologetic woman who almost t-boned me when I exited the Expressway. This was a definitely a spontaneous, conscious give as she really scared me. My immediate thought was, I am ok and this can be my give, I relaxed my tense body and gave her the peace sign as she kept mouthing "Sorry"...
Peace to all
Peace to all

not quite the "finger salute" she was expecting, no doubt! i am impressed that you had the presence of mind to do that in such a stressful moment. good for you! Hugs, Dawn

That you were able to care about her in that moment of fear gives evidence of a truly mature integrity. It is when such moments occur that we get a true picture of who we are deep inside. I feel sure she was not epecting you to respond that way. You touched her life meaningfully, great give.

How great to react with forgiveness rather than anger, even though you were scared. A great give!
