Saturday, August 26, 2006 
This morning I went for a run at minutes to 8. I really dislike running the same path back and forth, so I'll usually run as long as I want and then walk back. After a good 30-40 minutes of running, I was walking back. I passed a woman Mrs. Theresa that lives in the area. She met a group of us PCVs the other day and invited us to stop by anytime. She was struggling with a good 50-60 lbs of market bags so I helped her home. We sat around talking for awhile and I met her husband. On my way out, she gave me a sack with a mango, papaya, avocado, banana, orange and cucumbers. I was really grateful for the fresh fruit, most of which were grown in her own backyard. She said something that I found really inspiring. She said that she grows a lot and if she gives some of it away, she'll have even more grow back! What a positive attitude--and great way to start my Saturday!

Good karma is yummy. Mangos are yummier.

Karma does work in mysterious ways.  I'm sure Buddha would be proud

Your title says it all Sonya. All comes down to attitude. Besides, I think she really gives out because it feels good to her, and the way she portrays the return only makes her belief stronger in giving away more.
