thankyou all so much for the encouraging words! I havent had a second to check out anyone and their sights yet and their stories! Tomm were gonna re-lax! and than I get to do that! today we just did a little baby gift at Wal-Mart for toys for Tots. Were gonna try to focus less on store bought stuff, and I think it's easy for us because it's Christmas and we'd be buying 29 gifts anyway! so were gonna try to be more personal I think, plus were both shy so were getting away easy doing the drop off and run thing!
I did notice that yesterday when we were at the Dr. it was taking so long to get in, so my daughter went to get a snack from the vending machine, and I was digging around in my purse for change because I dont carry cash, and this guy had his son come over and give Rory a dollar. I thought it was so nice, because I probably wouldnt even have noticed if it had been the other way around, and yesterday, when I was buying that book at the bookstore, I took out my card, and Rory was fussing like I said before, and I put it back before the guy behind the counter scanned it, and he asked how i was gonna pay, and I was sooo frazzled, and I told him I was sorry because Im so bad at doing more than one thing at once and he was lke "you're doing fine" and for some reason that meant everything in the world to me, and right before we walked out he said it again, like he wasnt annoyed at my daughter who was disturbing the peace in there! and me for holding up the line!
and tonight, I took my daughter iceskating and were both bad, but I skate sooo slow I couldnt keep up with her, and this other mother, who already had her little girl with her, kept helping my daughter.
I was thinking how generous all of those people were to us! and it made realize more how nice the things strangers do, just the little things sometimes!
BTW, when my cousin Angie wrote about this (it was just a facebook post to everybody) I signed up and didnt know anything at all about Cami, and I still havent picked up her book, but I cant wait too read her story, i hadnt really even read much about the book untill today!....I didnt know that she was recently diagnosed with MS, and I think it's so amazing that this has been shown to me because the last 6 months Ive been struggling with signifigant health issues and impending major surg that are hard for me to understand or deal with, and it seems so amazing that this has been brought into my life! and reading others post Im not alone in that Im seeing so much what others around us give! to us and to others! it's so amazing! and fun!
