Giving Spirit

February 1st, 2010

I forgot to share this last week, but this past Friday I went to the grocery store, and there were two little girls- probably about 6-9 standing in the foyer of the store with a little table set up. They stopped me and asked if I wanted to buy a cup of hot chocolate for .50 because they were raising money to send to Haiti. I thought it was the sweetest thing and I couldn’t help but get tears in my eyes. It was COLD in that foyer and yet they were trying to raise a little money to help those in Haiti.

I told them I didn’t need any hot chocolate, but that I appreciated what they were doing, and I gave them some cash. They were thrilled, and I was proud of them for having the spirit to give and help others at such a young age. We could all learn from those little girls.

To Doctor, To Doctor

February 1st, 2010

Looks like come tomorrow morning I’ll be taking a trip to the doc so I can see if there is anything he can give me for this flu that I’ve contracted from Marcel. Unfortunately, mine seems to have settled in my sinus region, where Marcel’s didn’t. Needless to say, it’s going to be a little while before I dust off the fitness equipment and start using it again.

At this point, it’s almost a work out to get up and do anything- like walking from the couch to the bathroom. I even took a little nap today, which is the first one I’ve taken in a long, long time. I thought I would just lie down for a few moments, and the next thing I knew, it was an hour later. I guess I needed it.

Tomorrow Marcel is headed back to work from his sick leave, and it happens to be our 6 year wedding anniversary. Doesn’t look like there’s going to much celebrating around here.
