Time for Water

I thought I would write this blog tonight a bit earlier than I usually do because I thought that I should try and get to sleep early and knew that if I relaxed at all before writing it... sleepiness would overcome me and I might not get to it! So here it goes!

Today was pretty uneventful as a whole... so instead of a daily recap with a dose of day love... I'm just going to skip straight to the loving part! Today I was able to give the card I wrote to the girl in my class that had a hip biopsy. It was really great to see her smile and I really feel like she felt cared for! No telling what her results will bring, but I hope that in that moment she felt comforted and not so alone! Hopefully just the small act of writing her a card will help her to feel loved and hopefully that will help to inspire her to share her love with others even more-- she really is a lovely person! (Same girl that I helped with her Bioethics Midterm!)

I also helped to choose love today with a group project. After a lot of craziness--about a week ago I was able to get into different groups for all of our projects. (YAY!) For one of my group projects, my group decided to stay after class and just get it all done today. One of the girl's decided she couldn't make it because she has a baby sick at home. I chose love my offering to help do her part for her so she wouldn't have to worry about it later. She is definitely the kind of person who is hardworking and would not just flake on a project. I am lucky, for this program, that I don't have kids. It is hard enough not being able to see my friends and family-- I couldn't really imagine doing this and missing out on spending time with my children. I thought it was only right to give her a break and let her just focus on being with her baby. I was also able to finish two letters today! Can't wait to buy some envelopes so I can start mailing them out to my friends :)  Lastly, Unicef is doing this thing apparently where if you log on to uniceftapproject.org from your phone... you can help raise money for people who do not have access to drinking water. Donating a few dollars is totally amazing and really goes far for this organization! But if you can't donate, or even on top of donation, if you log on to that site through your iPhone (or other smartphone I'm sure...) every minute you stay away from your phone counts towards a donation from others. Basically it tracks if you are using your phone... and the more minutes you are able to abstain... the more money gets donated! Awesome! So I have stayed off my phone for the past hour and 42 minutes and counting. I'm sadly forgoing my nightly call home so I can wrack up as many minutes as I can before hitting the hay! (Also, I am donating some of my own money)


Hope that you feel inspired today to do what you can to help others and to choose love everyday in your life :)
