So today I woke up to a text that was asking if I wanted to help take care of an older lady for the day. I agreed and left shortly after waking... not knowing what to expect.
Lets just say I had a blast. :) We talked, watched TV and joked around... When she was in pain it hurt to watch but I made sure to do what I could for her and she was soo sweet to me. One moment she could have me dying of laughter and the next very sober thinking on what she told me. Its funnny, the one thing about old people is their strength. Watching her go through the pain was rough but she was soo strong and just pushed through, hanging on to her hopes of getting better and being able to walk her dog once again. It reminded me of my Grandpa before he died. He used to talk about all the things he would do once he got better. His dreams were so big even if they were a little late... I think that's inspiring.... the fact that in the mist of so much pain and helplessness they are still able to dream big, hope and be happy. It makes me feel so lame when I complain about still being single or any other petty thing that might drive me insane. So from here on I wanna dream, hope and be happy through anything God brings me through.
Today was a great day... I made a new friend and helped someone... and that's all I've ever wanted to do.
