Things I have given: a smile, dinner, time visiting a friend, a thank you note, coffee, an onion, an email to an old friend, helping out in an emergency situation at work, directions, flowers, and wine.

Things I have received: Ani DiFranco ticket, an extra source of income for the next few months, a kind and touching email from my dad, plans to meet with an old friend, bumping into a friend I hadn’t seen in months, a spiritual care volunteer position, help paying my taxes, means to sign up for a beginning reiki class.
