The Gift of Time (JAH)

Thursday, March 18 (Day 7): I have been sitting here struggling to think of a gift that I have given today. Nothing obvious jumps out at me. And then I realize that I have spent big chunks of my day giving my time to others. I spent about 1 1/2 hours in the middle of the work day driving my mother to pick up her van that had been worked on. I was glad to help her. I have also spent about 3 1/2 hours today on various aspects of my position as the Chairman of the Board of the local chapter of the National MS Society. I spend many hours each work on my various duties in such role, but I am so happy to be doing it. My dear friend Judy and my niece Margaret are suffering from MS and I want to do whatever I can to help find a cure for the damn disease as soon as possible! I think a cure will be found in my lifetime. I pray that it is found in Judy's lifetime.
