I recently finished "The Ultimate Gift" by Jim Stovall. I was inspired to read the book when the movie came out. It looked like the makings of a heartwarming story and I decided I'd like to see it, but I have a strict policy regarding books and the movies inspired by them: Read the book first. Rarely have I broken my policy knowingly, and so to keep my record pure, I waited to watch the movie until I had read it's parent book, which took awhile because when it comes to books, I am forever adding one to the list which causes me to forget others previously on the list... but, thanks to a recent display of the dvd's in WalMart (the Devil) I FINALLY remembered to get the book (almost a year later) and am ready to watch the movie. Which, actually, I am STILL waiting to watch because I am thrifty (yeah, cheap) and seem to remain indefinitely in 9th place on the waiting que at the library to borrow it.
Moving on to my point (and I do have one)- I have again begun to feel uninspired and stretched for time, as well as bored and somewhat tingly on my left side--much like back when I employed my TLOTday series. What better time then, to explore the gifts listed in "The Ultimate Gift" ? What better way to escape plumbing the dark recesses of my soul, the constant foraging for sorrow? Posts in the near future will be gloriously mundane inner reflections and personal drivel as inspired by each of the "gifts" given in the novel. Hold on to your hats!

Besides, it is the Season of Giving and this little listing project does include the word GIFT. It's Brilliant.
Also, wow! Jim Stovall is a pretty interesting person.
