Wake Up Wednesday Update...

I am Momma Hear Me Roar's Wake Up Wednesdays turn out to be as sweet as I thought they would be!
So I complimented many strangers and friends and co-workers this week. It was so nice to always be seeing the positive in those around me and helped me have a very positive week!
As for the letter well I wrote it, actually I wrote 4 ..... call me an over achiever but I couldn't decide who to write to and these four people kept swimming around in my mind so I decided to write to them all. I really did write to them all but like I said I suck at mailing it, I meant to mail it today after work but I was so tired and forgot until right now... oops




I will mail it tomorrow ok I promise!  Someone remind me will ya, just in case! Writing these letters made me realize how I have SO many wonderful, strong, admirable people in my life surrounding me, Thank you everyone for all of your love, support and strength you really buoy me up!!

This week we are supposed to Visit someone elderly .. it's a great idea and makes me think of my Grandpa who is turning 91 tomorrow. I love my Grandpa so much he is such a sweet, fun, Lovely man and I have learned so much from him! I wish I could pop down to visit him this week! Love you Grandpa and have a wonderful Birthday!!!

Blogger inspired Blogging.....

So I am starting to explore more the blogging world and found a blog called I am Momma - Hear Me Roar. I have read a few of her posts but don't check in every day. Today I checked in and read her post from yesterday and was inspired. As of the new year she has started what she calls Wake Up Wednesdays, basically every Wednesday she posts an idea to think outside ourselves and offer small service to those around us. Every week you can check back and she will have another little idea posted and will fill you in on how the last week went for her and you can also comment on how the week went for you. (Have I lost anyone...) If you want to read about why she started wake up Wednesdays and what they are all about in her words you can find that here.

I love this idea and so have decided to follow along and participate. Plus I think it will be fun to blog about it and let you all know about my experiences. Last week she challenged herself and others to give compliments to strangers, this idea intrigues me because I think I am comfortable giving compliments and often do but I like the idea of making a more conscious effort to find the good in others. Because I loved the idea so much I decided I'm going to do it along with this weeks wake up Wednesday which is to write a letter to someone you admire. Check back and find out my progress, but until them maybe you want to join in the fun!




Oh and about that crocheted project, it is on hold as I left it behind at a friends house so I will have to tell you all about it at a later date!
