I have to admit that I'm somewhat shaken up after reading that second comment on yesterday's blog. I really had no idea what to say today and I was going to do little bit about the benefits of never having a "bad hair day" after I devoted yesterday's entry to the status of my hair.

After reading the comment, however, I too am filled with a variety of emotions. I have received a number of e-mails from people who have said that they felt inspired in some way from reading my blog. I have found each of these to be very moving to me and, yet, I am truly taken aback and humbled that the words that I have chosen to write(actually, words that have been given to me to write) can be so meaningful to others.

This comment, once again, shows us how small a world it is and how each of us in some small way can touch the heart and soul of another - oftentimes without even realizing it. I have often said that God only knows how we affect others. But through this blog, admittedly a somewhat selfish endeavor for a number of reasons, God has truly blessed me by actually letting me know in certain cases that my words(His words!) have truly affected the lives of other people.

I really don't know how to respond to a comment like this except to say that I am glad that God has touched this woman through me and bolstered her feelings about the significance of the wonderful gift that she is giving to another. She is definitely making a difference in the life of another as is some other donor in mine. It is a gift that I can never repay and, I am sure, one in which the donor is not looking to be reimbursed for in any way. But the bottom line from all of this is that we all make a difference in some way in the lives of others! Would that it were always a positive one!
