A couple weeks ago, I was invited to two parties for today. The times overlapped so I had a decision to make. I could go to the party with more people, the more popular, and the more entertaining.... or I could go to the more private, intimate party, the one that would be more personal. I considered both. I debated it. But when it came down to it, I went to the one that would mean the most to the other individual. I put someone else before me. I would have preferred the bigger crowd... the more popular get together. But the smaller party, a dinner at someone's house, is what would mean the most to them. And while uncomfortable, to some degree, it is what I should have done. So I did. I made the sacrifice. I thought of someone else, before me. Sometimes, this is not easy to do. But I am getting better.
In other news, I got an email back from the camp councilor. She said I made her cry with what I said. She also told me that she wished I had gotten together with her step son, way back when. I take it as a compliment for someone to want me as family.
I am hoping my challenge is making an impact.
