Feeling inspired today

Posted on December 21, 2009 at 9:00am 2 Comments

I feel re-energized about giving after a few days of struggling to give, so I'm going to take advantage of it while I feel so moved. I just called a long-distance friend to wish her good luck for an architectural exam she's taking tonight, and I also wrote a more honest than usual email to another long-distance friend to very gently ask about something that happened between us during the summer.
