Thanks

Though I rant and rave about all the "problems" I am tired of in my life, I have so much to be thankful for...
I love my family, and my friends, (and my puppies :]) who have been there for me through thick and thin and support me in all that I do.
I have a great job, and though it's just part-time, it's something where if my ambitions did not work out, I could potentially continue to move up in the company and make a difference.
I do well in school, and love to learn. How lucky am I that my "homework" is to read, write, and analyze? Something that I love to do. The next time I complain about how swamped I am, I need to sit back and recognize that a) I put this upon my own shoulders, no one is pressuring me but myself, and b) I do the same things in work and pleasure, read.
I also have numerous ways to reach out and help others. While I'm still trying to decide whether or not this is selfish of me, I enjoy doing it. What do you think? Does finding satisfaction in helping others take away from the act itself?

I've been involved with an organization called the Mocha Club for about two years now, and and currently trying to start up a new project with their outlet called "Make Change". I'm going to try to partner with one of the groups on campus, one of the boys in my class told me about an organization he is part of that would be nearly perfect for the project, so I am hoping that will work out.

I will keep you posted, and explain more about Mocha Club shortly. If you would like to get involved, please click on my link in my Info or click here: [

Stay safe, and spend tomorrow with loved ones- in person or in thought.
