I took the Dare from Joli in her journal. I am going to try and note three gifts in my life each day.



The private entries are still other stuff I need to get out of my head, but I don't think I want anyone else to see.



The gifts - oh, this is an amazing idea, Joli. :) Thank you for the broad spectrum dare.



1) The courtesy and smiles of the postal worker who helped me

2) contagious giggles

3) friendly (not creepy) and gregarious strangers





Oh, Joli, this shall be fun!
