Day 4: Encouragement!

We all need encouragement...but some days more than others.   

As a staff team today we all wrote our names on top of a piece of note paper. We passed the paper to the person on our right.  That person wrote down a quality that they admired about the person whose name was at the top.  Then we passed to the right again, and so on, until the paper arrived back to the person whose name was at the top.  I don't think these folks had done something like this before, but what  power there is in uplifting words!


 This exercise came at a good time.  We're getting tired already and we're not half-way through our trip.  You could say Dan is a little "slap-happy" in fact!  Today he was going through the office and found a special magnifying glass George had for his eyes.  Dan was trying to demonstrate it to Eva, Gail (Eva's daughter), and me.  He held it one way and said, "Look it works, but it's upside down."  Then he turned it around and said, "It's still upside down."  Then he discovered the magnifying glass was fine...it was the paper he was reading that was upside down!  Early to bed tonight!
