Day 5

[Kim Butler]

I think I will order Cami's book after reading someones post about it! Today I took my friend at work, who I mentioned earlier was having a hard time, a bag of dinner fixins. I put all the ingredients for spaghetti in it so she wouldn't have to think about or buy dinner tonight, just throw it together and feed herself and the kids. I've really been feeling more open hearted toward people. I've been listening more intently, my attitude toward others has been more positive and just my mood in general has been much lighter all in the spirit of giving. I've been really frustrated with my workplace for a long time. There is just so much gossip, back-stabbing and blaming that goes on. I want to scream sometimes just to get their attention but I kinda doubt it would do much good. What does do good is rising above it by smiling, spreading kindness, turning my back on negativity, and in doing this finding more compassion in the midst of it all. It's so subtle and profound at the same time. It's only day 5 and already so many insights and blessings. I;m sure it will only get more beautiful and exciting! Thanks to all you other bloggers out there, I really enjoy reading your posts and hearing about your experience. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing I'm part of this community!
