Today is the first day in September and the first day of Spring. Spring is a beautiful season; birth of new life and new possibilities, optimism and hope are in the air. I am very much looking forward to the nicer weather it brings as well.I am saddened to be leaving August, however. August being Hands Up For the Homeless month; raising money and awareness by cruising the city streets in my pjs with a teddy and balloons in hand or hosting a Hands Up morning tea at work was loads of fun. I have worn wrist bands to represent what it all means and to stand up for the cause all throughout the month. Every time I have seen the bold colors wrapped around my wrist I would think of my commitment to not just this cause but commitment to living my life dedicated to improve the lives others in this world. A burst of excitement and passion every time I saw the bands, a feeling of comfort as I slept with the bands attached to me; I will certainly miss that. They are still on my wrists, I think it is time *removes bands.* Fortunately I move straight from one project to the next. Tonight I am hitting up Anglicare to hopefully get involved in their volunteer program mentoring foster children.
Yes, I will absolutely feel less hungry if I eat half my bean and give the other half to someone with no bean than if I ate the whole bean.
