Good Day

I feel that often times all I do on this blog (and in life) is complain and pick on people...well...not today. Today was actually one of the better days that I have had in a long time. Here is how it went down.

6:00 am - Up and in the shower. This is a big deal considering the fact that I am NOT a morning person and usually don't roll out of bed until around 7:30 on a good day.

7:30 am - Best Buddies Meeting. I have started volunteering with a program called Best Buddies. I am helping them plan a few upcoming event and getting involved with the actual program. Our meeting this morning was one I will never forget. Eric Matthes is a member of our chapter and came to our meeting. He is riding in a bike race to raise money for the organization. Eric is someone that I call a Hero. Eric has down syndrome, but is one of the most amazing people I know. He talked about getting a job on his own, being a public speaker to groups larger then 1,000 people, helping others, and knowing that he can ride the 15 mile bike challenge. He became very emotional while expressing his feelings about being able to do things. Today, Eric left a huge footprint on my path of life. He told us to help people every single day and to challenge yourself to do more. I am proud to call Eric my friend and am honored to be able to help sponsor him. Click here if you too are able to donate to his cause. Eric's goal is to raise $5,000 dollars.



8:45 am - In the office. Usually by this time I have quite a few emails waiting for me, but nope. Not today. I only had one email. I was sure something had to be wrong. All and all it was a fairly quiet day from my clients. I was able to get a lot done in the office and laughed so hard at Matthews "melting" exercises, my old man wheezing laugh came out.

6:30 pm - Institute. I have to be honest that I did not want to go, but I did. My teacher says words like "neato" and "fire it up." Come on....sometimes they just make it too easy.

9:00 pm - Home teachers. I don't know what got into me, but man I was on one tonight. We talked about the crazy people in the ward and laugh for a good hour. You name it, we talked about it. Really, Steph should have told me to be quite. I just could not stop.

See...it was a good day and all of this on a one pill day! I laughed more and was mad/frustrated less. It's been awhile, but I hope tomorrow is just as good.
