I've given 2 presentations
Listened to 3 guest lectures
Visited 3 non-governmental organizations (NGO's)
Watched 2 films/documentaries
Had class on a everyday (including saturday and NOT sunday!)
Went to a Quaker pot luck
Volunteered at a local food bank (Martha's Table)
Ate 2 Half-smokes (A half-smoke is a "local sausage delicacy" found in Washington, D.C.
Climbed at the largest climbing gym in the country (Earth Trek's in Maryland)
Participated in A LOT of community building activities (love them!)
Met so many people with similar - and different - lives, mannerisms, and humor
Found a few friends of Faith - one who said something I've never heard
before, she said "I think you are the answer to my prayers."
The days have been extremely long, but absolutely fantastic. Thank you Mom and Dad (and everyone else) for letting me explore new territory (literally and figuratively.) Please keep me accountable with my goal to NOT complain. There is so much to be thankful for! Why complain about your life when there is someone (or millions) fighting to save theirs?
Because we were granted with our beautiful life.. I really encourage us take the time to examine the past days/weeks/years, examine our hearts, celebrate our successes and reflect on our failures. I hope that we can all live our lives purposefully and gracefully.
Counting her blessings,
Lynn
