Day 1 - Giving(and receiving)
What a day!
I began my day thinking "WHO" would receive my "first gift" and "WHAT" the gift would be. It was truly refreshing to be thinking of others all day!
The possibilites ran through my mind... would it be a family member, friend, neighbor or complete stranger??? I decided on a whim that I wasn't going to purchase every gift for my journey. But, if I did, I would limit my purchase to $5.00.
As I was heading to my docotr's appointment it occured to me.... give a gift to my doctor! There is a coffee shop around the corner from his office so I stopped in and purchased a gift card.
At the end of my appointment, I simply handed the card to him and said, "a gift for you"...his smiled warmed my heart! His response made my day!
What an exciting journey this will be!!!
