Doing Something Good

I attended a funeral yesterday for a woman who attended my church. She was fiesty, very opinionated, but always took action for what she believed in. She started my church's food pantry and was very active in foreign mission work. I enjoyed talking to her and she often made me laugh with some of the things that she would say. When people got up to talk about her, they said all these wonderful things about how she always made sure that people had something to eat, or how she interacted with the people who came into the food pantry. It made me think...what good things do I do for others? I am active with my church missions and with my sororities community service activities, but what impact are they really making in my community? Is there something else that I can be doing to make more of an impact? You heard and saw the impact that the woman at my church had on others just by the words that were said about her. It makes me want to do more, not so people can say stuff about me when I am gone, but to make someone else's life and my own richer. I will have to figure out what exactly I am going to do or how I am going to do it, but I do know that it is going to be something.

What do you do that positively impacts othere, you and/or your community?

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1. The last thing I do before going to sleep is turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2. When I can't sleep I watch TV until I fall back to sleep . 3. The first thing I do when I wake up is go to the bathroom . 4. When I'm tired I can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5. My dream bedroom would be have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6. If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7. The longest sleep I've ever had was I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If you know any great places to go or see in the state of Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall. Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
