10 Days

Not sure if to start over. These past ten days have been full. I know I have given everyday. Every day, I go to the Click To Give Site for the 8 different groups that receive. My son-in-law's mother, who has been dealing with lung cancer, was having a difficult time & found out she has two brain tumors. She was living 3 hours from here, so the good that is coming out of this includes her moving to stay with him & my daughter, saving him worry & all the weekly driving once a…See More

Day 4, Round 2

Today, my gift was a thank you card sent to a dear friend to acknowledge her for all her support. This morning as I awoke, while still laying in bed, I was contemplating all the things I have to be grateful for. My first thought was of the comfy bed I was sleeping in. I had been sleeping on the floor for nearly 10 months. My friend heard about it & gave me the bed in their guest room when they were moving. The bed, a set of soft sheets, a bedspread. Felt like Christmas!A couple…See More
