Day 59

What I did:

Yes, today is the last day of my experiment. Yesterday, I wrote more of my book and had thoughts on my next blog. I am still feeling a little down and out as I prepare for my foster sister's funeral. I'm so thankful that she's not in any pain, and that the cancer could only kill her body, not her spirit and soul! It's just that so many of us left will miss her terribly!

Losing Annie has spurred me on to try to help my other sisters reconnect. I had a good response to a group I started, by invitation only, for the sisters I could locate. I see our relationships getting stronger because of our common bond.

My sixteen year old was home sick yesterday. I was able to baby him a little - something I usually don't have much time for anymore. Thankfully, he's up and raring to go today.

I offered to take my grandson overnight last night so Shelli could get a little down time. He was so well behaved, but now he's tugging on my leg. Guess I should give the little guy some attention before I head off to work.

What I learned:

Another situation came up yesterday, and I really thought about what my response should be. The reason I write is to encourage each and every person I cross paths with. My past is not a great past, and a lot of that is because of my former decisions and responses to life in general. Because of God's command to love others, and because He has placed a desire in my heart to write and encourage people, I want to show others that it's never too late to do the right thing! In my own particular situation, loving and connecting with others is the right thing to do. I realized once again that I want to continue to be the messenger of God's grace through my writing. It was a very peaceful realization.

Two more days to write! Tomorrow I will wrap up my experiment. The day after, I will share what I've learned as a whole, and provide a link to my newest blog.

Until Tomorrow~~~Elizabeth
