Good Deeds

The main mission of this blog when I began was to focus on the good things that happen everyday. Today was no exception.

I have been feeling pretty lousy lately. Constant headaches. Lethargic. Not interested in doing things. I've been feeling this boiling up, so I don't know if it is my depression, sickness, or both. I ended up staying in bed all morning. Constantly falling back to sleep until I absolutely had to wake up and get ready for work (which I honestly almost called out, yeah feeling that bad).

Having slept in I did not make myself dinner for work, nor had I ate at all. I decided to stop by Whole Foods to grab some food that would hopefully perk me up. A quesadilla, and my favorite carrot cake.

While there I ran in to one of my coworkers. She is always a huge support system for me. We gave a quick hello as I was running to get in to work. As I was getting ready to pay for my food, she ran up in the line, told the woman my money was no good today, and bought my meal. I fought. She insisted. The workers and people in line just laughed. So I let her.

I was extremely grateful. Even thanked her again at work. She said I'm constantly doing a lot for them, and it was the least she could do for me. It was so sweet.

Then I mentioned on Facebook and Twitter how wonderful it was to have someone do a random act of kindness for me on a day that started bad. After prompting the show, I came back to my desk to find a sweet treat left by another coworker.

Seriously?! How am I so lucky to work at such a fabulous place?

I was also complimented by our News Director yesterday for all the help I've been offering to the web team as they have been short staffed... as well as still doing my job.

It was such instances that put smiles on my face through these days that I have been feeling down.

Once again, I am just so thankful for where live has led me, and the people I have been so fortunate enough to meet.

Continuing the fight with these people by my side makes the battle less difficult.
