Got back from a wonderful retreat and looking forward already for the next one.  I was recharged, empowered and happy.  One glitch however - my room mate forgot her hair brush and lotion and had to borrow mine.  Ordinarily I would be very annoyed but then I thought God put me in this situation, maybe testing me; I think I dealt with the situation fine.  I loaned the girl my spare hair brush and lotion.  As soon as I got home, I sterilized the brush. The lotion was OK it doesn't touch my skin directly.  Also, she probably squeezed too much of her make up and used my towel to wipe the excess.  I did not say anything although it was difficult controlling the emotion.  Firstly because it was a silent retreat; secondly, I was reminded of the breathing exercise we did during the orientation.  I tried not to dwell on it so much and lifted everything to God and it worked.  I left the retreat feeling good.
