FINALLY!!

I'm so sorry for missing another blog yesterday but my computer wouldn't let me get on BlogSpot!! Ok, so here is another two posts on one blog:

Thursday:
Yesterday at work I learned that a grandmother of a 4th grade student makes lunch for the entire school faculty every Thursday!! As someone who hates to cook even for herself, I find this amazing! The teachers at the school seemed to greatly appreciate the effort.

Friday:
A woman in my weight watchers meeting was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer 8 months ago. This week she learned she was officially in remission. Our weight watchers leader brought in a celebratory balloon for her today. I also saw that there were gifts left on the chairs of the woman's close friends. I soon found out that she had sewed each of them a gift for all of their support. Wow!! Every moment she felt well enough to do something, she worked on sewing the gifts. I think it is so incredible for someone who is enduring so much to still think of others. It made me smile this morning to witness such love, support, and kindness.

This afternoon I took my mom out to lunch. Hopefully this brightened her day a bit.

Tonight I went to a Riley Dance Marathon. It was great to see high school students have compassion for the needs of children they have never met. The mom of the girl I care for also spoke at the event. The students were very attentive and respectful during the speech. They were all so good with the little girl as well. Everyone seemed to be having a great time all while raising money for a great cause.

Who did you makes smile today?
