Day 4 August 22 2008

Today I had an inspiration I did all my chores and errands that I run as a gift for my family, community or to myself . And I gave myself an hour for a bath. This luxury I have not had for atleast 6 month and I listen to some meditative music.And it was woinderful.

The idea of doing my chores as a gift has transformed mylife out of this world.
