Stop for a second – Sports Discussion

Today I spent the day with the family who are getting the home built for them and the volunteers doing the building. The family is made up of a single mom with four sons. The second to the eldest got brain cancer after Katrina and has since had chemo and surgery (he is okay as of now). The second to the youngest just turned 13. He has epilepsy and had a seizure while I was interviewing him.

The family has been living in a MEMA (Mississippi emergency management Agency) trailor for the last two years. before that they were living in a FEMA trailor. Now, they are getting a home built for them by volunteers from several churches in the Maryland area. The churches also raised all the money for the home too. Amazing.

The family is amazing because they are positive, grateful, gracious and lovely. All this despite their health and living situations.

The volunteers are amazing because they have given Camiseta Valencia time, money and tons of hard work to help a family they Camiseta SL Benfica don’t have any previous connection to.

This is the land the house is on. Mississippi is swampy!

I actually got stuck in the muck within minutes of arriving. Both my feet got stuck up to my ankles. Yuck. But, really not that big of a deal. everyone at the camp packs their own lunch in the morning. They didn’t have any whole grain options, so I went with “Whole grain white” (whatever that means) with mustard and a piece of cheese. It was gross. bad call Monica. Luckily, I also filled my lunch bag with a Kashi bar, apple and naner with PB in a baggie. On the way back to camp I stopped in Wendy’s for a much needed side salad (no veggies today at all) and a beverage ?

I really don’t even know how to describe how I feel after spending the day with all these people. I am so lucky. and I kinda feel that I am so ungrateful. I need to thank God more and complain about my weight less.

Seriously, stop for a second. Be grateful for your family, health, friends, job, home, computer, anything, everything….
