Who's ready for 10-10-09?

10.10 Community Day for 2008 has come and gone. There are so many stories, blessings and photos to share and we will over the next few days, but I did want to get some really initial thoughts down while they were fresh in my mind.

The spirit of kindness, of giving, of compassion,of gratitude, of love, of joy and of hope was alive at 10.10 Day and every single person involved was an integral part of that spirit -- whether you were a volunteer during the day or a person involved on the other end. My heart is bursting with joy even now to think of some of the things that happened today.

10.10 Day has been about the day, but it's always been about much more than that. As we finished our second year of committing to intentionally go out into our community and give and serve freely of ourselves, we again realized that that spirit of kindness -- that spirit of joy -- that spirit can be a part of our every days.

We will be back to share the stories of 10.10 over the next few days. It was a rich day filled with great people and great stories, but right now, the thing that stands out the most is my overall feeling: Let's make every day just like this day!
