Inspirational Quote: "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."
My Grateful List:
- At 28 years old, I am grateful for a mother that I can call at 7:30 a.m. when I've had a bad dream.
- I am grateful to be working at Brandon University where I am given masses of used and unused textbooks that I, in turn, send to others in need.
- It's May and we are going to hit 30 degrees Celsius, for that, I am grateful.
- I am grateful for the friends I have currently residing in Kenya, Peru, Botswana, Thailand and the many friends who have traveled the world.
- As I walked up the hill to my apartment, I came across some chalk art. "The World is My Canvas" and "Love is All You Need." I am grateful for the stranger who brightened up my strenuous uphill climb.
Other things I did today included donating $20 to the Cadet Wake-a-thon I mentioned on Day 82 and donating $20 to a colleague who is participating in the Caged for Critters fundraiser for Funds for Furry Friends. She is being locked in a make-shift jail cell until she raises a $250 bail.
I also entered and started bombarding people to vote for Brandon University's WUSC Student Refugee Program in a contest being held by Better World Books. The winning entry, a.k.a. the entry with the most votes, wins $300 for their cause. So VOTE!
Remember Day 83? The half marathon, the raising money for WUSC, the insanity? Well, here's my new blog all about it. 21K for Change!
