Three Days

Okay, so I have been slacking and I know this. Not that anyone is reading this but me, but nonetheless, I have made a commitment and I will stick to it!

So let's go back to Monday: Now, economic circumstance and general socialist loathing keeps me as far away from malls as possible usually. But as I'm down to one pair of jeans, I decided that it was time to buy another. So, there I was at Market Mall at about 1:00 pm on a Monday, surrounded by babies. That's right, babies. Every age, race, size and degree of cuteness. An army of little nuggets running around with their winter boots, puffy coats, and mittens flopping from the cuffs of their jackets. I was like a heroine addict walking through a poppy field. Why are babies so freakin' cute? I mean really? How could we start out so preciously sweet and wind up... ya know...?
Anyways, it was so sweet watching these sweet little guys interact with each other and their families. It just made me so thankful to live in a place where have the opportunity to enjoy freedom and security.

Tuesday: A work day, but a great day nonetheless. My moment was a very special one, and I'll have to be vague on the off chance that this ever gets read by anyone but me. I had the chance to listen to someone that I care about very much, that's facing some difficult problems. Now, I haven't been dancing through fields of daisies myself these days - but it felt so good to just be there for someone. To forget about myself and give attention and love to someone who hopefully could use it. So if you have someone in your life who's lost a touch of the brightness in their eye or bounce in their step - don't wait for them to tell you what they need. Do something, do anything. Don't ask permission, just do it.

Wednesday: Okay, my moment is a movie, as much of a cop out as that is. A FANTASTIC movie called 'The Blind Side'
It may sound hokey, but honestly, that woman is my hero. It just highlights what we all have to give. It really inspired me and I hope that it's an example that doesn't fade anytime soon.
