Out on a Limb?

I've lost track of which day this is of the 29 days, which suits me fine as I plan to just make this a permanent on-going way of life from now on. But here is where I'm going to go out on a limb, so to speak and tell about an experience I had that I'm going to count as a give. I wonder if anyone else will understand and/or agree as to whether it was actually a give or not: This morning I heard on TV about a murder in another part of the country. I forgot about it until later when I was brushing my teeth, and thinking about what I needed to do today, when I started to "see" pictures in my minds eye about that murder;what had happened, how it had happened and details that had not been given in the TV report. I tried to ignore this, tried to tell myself I was only imagining these things, but the "pictures" persisted. Now I am NOT psychic, but this has happened to me before and been proven to be correct; the difference is that the times it has happened before, what was revealed was about people close to me. To make a long story short, I called the police department in that city. They asked for and I gave them my name, address and both phone #'s and told them what I had seen. Finally, I had peace! I don't know if it was just my imagination or not , time will tell, at least I hope I will find out, but what was more significant for me was that I was obedient to what I felt lead to do. I found the courage to be willing to make a fool of myself, if that is how it ends. I think there are times we must just go ahead and take a risk without worrying about how we might look. Soooo; Was that a give, a giving of what may be information, or not?

On another topic: Yesterday my loved one told me that they felt worthless, due to the circumstances of their life. Naturally I tried to encourage and comfort them that they were not worthless and I loved them, but that just seemed to irritate them and as an hour or so past even enrage them! As things began to deteriorate, I tried to just listen, but they started to become more and more rude, so I felt I needed to spend the rest of the day in a separate room so as not to fuel the fire. Now I was feeling hurt, depressed and angry that I was being "dumped"on, and the last thing I wanted to do was to give anything to that person! Now it is important to say that that person has been wanting a new recliner chair lately, and later in the evening, QVC just happened to have just the chair that person had mentioned on TV! Needless to say, I ordered the chair! ( And I have several months to pay for it too!)
