Wednesday:
A friend asked me to lunch. She reached out to me because she thought she hurt my feelings a few weeks ago and wanted to make sure everything was fine between us. I was so glad that she felt like she could talk to me about this and get it resolved. It made me smile to know that she valued our friendship enough to straighten things out.
I went to get my oil changed following lunch and a valvoline employee made me smile. I have a "resting bitch face" so he thought I was unhappy. He starting joking around with me telling me I needed to smile. No frowns! lol He was funny and he succeeded in making me smile.
Thursday:
The girl I care for returned home from being out of town for medical reasons for 10 days so I went to her house in the morning to decorate the house.. The family loved it and thanked me. I made them smile and in return it made me smile as well.
I was sent to a new case for work and I met an incredible family. A few months ago, a terrible tragedy stuck this family and their lives changed forever. I was so impressed by their faith and determination to carry on. They are so sweet and nice. After experiencing such loss, it is easy to turn on God and become bitter to the world. This family refuses to be broken. The mother even told me "I've lost everything, I can't lose God too". Wow. I feel like this woman may be the most inspirational person I have ever met. While this situation doesn't make me smile as I would not wish this to happen to my worst enemy, it makes me feel very blessed to have a job in which I can meet so many extraordinary people. Extraordinary people that motivate me to be a better person and force me to put the little things in life into perspective. Please pray for this family as their difficulties are far from over. After meeting them, I know it will be a long and difficult road but I also know that if anyone can make it through this, it will be this family.
