Giving is Receiving
Tomorrow I will start giving to others, but today I give myself the gift of reaching out to find joy and peace. I have often given to others and felt so good inside, but today I need to give myself a boost and know that I am setting out on a search, and will hope to find out just why each day is so special all in itself, and how just me can make it better for someone else and for myself.
