29 Gifts

My wonderful nephews: Dylan, Brandon, Brady, Taylor, Nicholas, and me.  

I must begin by telling about a book.  The first book I finished this 2013 years is: 29 Gifts How a Month of Giving Can Change your Life by Cami Walker.  The author was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and her life changed forever.  She received an uncommon prescription from a friend to give away 29 gifts in 29 days.  I too have taken this challenge.  Danny and I decided to visit my sister and her family, Tuesday January 1. We don't see much of them, and it was confirmed as both parents were at work on New Year's Day, and don't have much free time.

We went with the intent of giving a treat and some money.  We were the ones that got the treat which was worth more than money.  The boys were so friendly.  They showed us their animals, Christmas gifts, shared their licorice, and as I was trying to learn all their names, Dylan began to tease me by mixing them up.  

They truly made my day, and many days to come.  I know there is power in presence.  Their presence blessed our lives.  Danny said that when I go there again, be sure to include him.
