For this post I have a variety of thoughts I would like to share. I will break this post up into two different sections.
Faith in Humanity Restored
I work at a Hawaiian Fast food restaurant in the food court at my college and we sell Dole Whips like they sell in Hawaii and at Disneyland. While I was working on Monday night this guy came up to buy one and then asked me to deliver it to a girl sitting and doing her homework. At first I thought that he was buying it for a cute girl he saw in the food court but then he said he had seen her spill her's right when she sat down so she did not get to eat any of it. He bought her a new one and then asked me to go deliver it to her anomalously. It was the sweetest thing. When I went up to give it to her it looked like she was having a stressful day and after I explained why I was giving her a brand new Dole Whip she just said, "Are you serious?!" She had the biggest smile on her face. This small act of service brightened my day even though I personally had nothing to do with it! Afterwards I decided I wanted to be like that guy. I want to be the type of person who notices other people's problems and instead of just being an innocent bystander, does something to help that person.

- Warm bubble baths
- Movie theatres
- Family game time
- Frozen pizza
- Fuzzy blankets
- My Savior Jesus Christ

When Life Gets you Down:
On November 25, my family visited my older brother Adam's grave sight. He died about four years ago. November 25 would have been his 31st birthday. My brother Adam had a saying that "When life gets you down, eat a glazed donut". Things were not always easy for him but he still found joy in the little things. I love this quote because it reminds me to be happy and thankful for the small things in life.
I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with friends and family!
