March Madness

I have been so grouchy lately. Ask anyone! Everybody bugs me from the people closest to me to the chick with the german accent on the walmart intercom. I feel like everything is getting worse and worse. I don't even like hanging out with me because I bug myself! I am desperately searching for an attitude change. I'll never forget the time I was at Primary Children's hospital waiting for Kasara to finish with her babysitting class. I was in the bathroom and I overheard a conversation between two moms about their kids. The moms knew each other because both of their kids were cancer patients there. They greeted each other and asked how things were and the one mom started talking about how lucky and grateful she was that it turned out that her child had one kind of cancer instead of another. What a thing to be grateful for. It's so easy to forget my blessings and as I start to think about it I might even say I have more blessings than bad things. Even though the bad things can feel suffocating sometimes. I'm not a very selfless person but I do remember times when I helped other people and it made me forget my problems for a while. So here's my plan...I'm going to try to do a random act of kindness as often as I can and blog about it. Not to brag but for the selfish fact it will hopefully make me less grouchy! I printed off a list off of the internet (because I'm so grouchy I can't even come up with my own stuff!) The list is broken up into 4 categories; for people you know, for those unknown, for our world and for yourself. There are 13 ideas in each category and as you do each one the next one gets harder. The first suggestion is leave a snack for an unsuspecting co-worker or friend. Right now I'm thinking I will make a loaf of bread and give it to my friend Camille. I'm not completely committed to that yet, I'm still thinking about it. I'll let you know what I decide!
