My gift was an offer to plan an outing for a fun rewarding activity together. We both felt excited and I found out that my person likes and respects me more than I knew. I was very surprised that they expressed this to me and like I said earlier in the week a bond of friendship is forming where I never had a clue it could. This gift has opened up a door that might have never been unlocked.

I will be following the 40 Day Challenge and post when I can during my medical leave, I love this!
Day 1
1. I did feel anger on Monday toward someone I feel in the box with, I do not like the feeling that anger has on me. I can feel it all over my body, not just emotional and mentally but also physical. I can feel self-pity welling up that I have to deal with this person. I start to run through my mind all the thing that I don't agree with that this person does. It's almost like turning up the flame on the grill.
2. I did hold my tongue, I think that I bite my lip to keep my mouth closed. I was with someone else that was feeling the same things that I was and they were not able to keep quiet and I caught a whisper under their breath.
3. I stayed strong and forced myself the think about my selected person and I really feel that I am strengthening a positive bond between the two of us.

Actions speak louder than words. So true!

My mother always told me forgiveness can be hard for all of us, but we must look even harder at the future, without it.
