Pink Glove Dance; INSPIRED

MANY of you have probably already seen this video; I have now seen it a couple of times.  However, I had not seen the sequel to it until today.  This video inspired thousands of people in the medical field to dance and help support those who are suffering with breast cancer.  Here is the sequel from people all across America and into Canada.  This just made my afternoon.

Sometimes..

I feel that we don't take enough time out of the day to recognize and appreciate it's beauty. Today, I felt like I had rinsed out my eyes and all of a sudden I had perfect vision. This never happens, but today, (metaphorically speaking) I saw the world for, almost, its entire worth. Everything beautiful stuck out to me. Even the things that aren't commonly labeled as beautiful. The smallest acts of kindness softened my heart, and a nicely spoken word just calmed me down. I saw so many good things come out of so many good people. I noticed things I haven't noticed before, even in my own family. My dad wakes up every single morning, at 530 am, just to make me, an 18 year old, lunch. My mom comes home every day from work and makes me a snack without me asking. My dad also makes dinner every day after a long, 10 hour day. My friend yesterday came to my door while I was doing a load of hw with flowers for me, just because she thought I deserved them. Today, I had a friendly conversation with an old friend at an ice cream shop. Many, MANY other things happened that my fingers are just too tired to type.

Basically, I hope that I continue to see with this vision. It brightens my mood, boosts my spirits and inspires me to keep going. I feel more optimistic and motivated knowing that despite crisis, stress and over all hard times, there is good in ALL of us, and that good comes from the holy spirit. Thank you God for giving me this beautiful and purposeful life.
