Stepping Out of my Comfort Zone

I had the opportunity just recently to step out of my Comfort Zone and take my mother-in-law to the hospital. She has always been an angel to me and has dramatically affected my life - to be a better person.

After spending many hours with her at the hospital (and getting much praise for helping her), I realized she helped me much more.   That night, when I shared some of the stories with my family, tears started rolling down my eyes. 

It was good to experience such an intense feeling of compassion, which I would not have had the opportunity to experience if I did not step out of my comfort zone. I didn't have to be profound - just had to give of myself which is sometimes the hardest thing to do!

I was given So much more - what a blessing.

Simple but delicious

I have my in-laws over for dinner and when I do I make an extra dinner for them to take home - especially lasagna- because they love it so much. They can have it for a few days and it makes them so happy. Even some small act of kindness goes a long way. Anytime I do some small act of service it makes ME feel so much better.
