Day 268

Carpe diem! Rejoice while you are alive; enjoy the day; live life to the fullest; make the most of what you have. It is later than you think. – Horace

It’s 8: 50 PM on day 268 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself a chicken nugget sandwich for breakfast, create and publish Virginia’s Sandwich Run only stopping to feed myself rice and curry for lunch – I spent three whole hours trying to get the page title in the center but in the end I decided that it didn’t matter where my title was as long as my message was clear 🙂 – watch TV, help my brother with his homework – to Laura (@laurajteacheroz) I totally have a new respect for what you do I only had to do it for an hour and I felt like pulling my hair out LOL 🙂 – feed myself Puri and chicken curry for dinner, brush my teeth once more and tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – still no luck 🙁

Yesterday I heard the story of eighty-two-year-old twins, Helen and Ellen, who started The Love Kitchen – a non-profit organization dedicated to providing meals, clothing and emergency food packages to the homeless, homebound and unemployed people of Knoxville, USA – twenty years ago and that has inspired me to stop procrastinating and launch Virginia’s Sandwich Run – a page on this blog dedicated to our late housekeeper, Virginia, which aims to raise enough money to make 48 sandwiches a week for the people in our current housekeeper’s neighborhood – today regardless of the fact that I don’t have enough time to do so. Do you postpone making your dreams come true because you don’t have all your ducks in a row?

Day 248

Appreciation consists of words and action – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 7: 40 PM on day 248 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck but @laurajteacheroz (Laura) promised to donate $50 if 50 people donated $10 each – thanks Laura 🙂 – feed myself a polony sandwich for breakfast, tweet about my campaign some more –still no luck :(– feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch TV, continue reading A Purloined Life – the first of two books in Stella Cameron‘s Charmed, feed myself Batura for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

Today I was sitting at my laptop doing something when the memory of a comment left on my Facebook wall post which read you’re a star came flooding back to me and in that moment I felt so angry because the woman who left that comment after reading an article about me was the very same woman who wouldn’t return any of my messages when I sent her a donation request so naturally I wasn’t exactly feeling the love although I did thank her in the interest of being polite. Do you talk the talk but fail to walk the walk?

You become your choices. – Unknown

It’s 3: 58 PM on day 194 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, make sandwiches for the people in our housekeeper’s neighbourhood (if you have no idea what I am talking about refer to ‘Day 184’) – I buttered the bread while my mom put the jam on – it was SO much fun the only thing I would do differently was tell my mother to buy foil instead of using the sandwich wrap but still all in all it was great day 🙂 – tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – I woke up to find that four more people had made donations to my campaign after I’d went to bed yesterday which brings my grand total raised on my birthday to $161.68 –a special thanks to Anonymous, Melanie, @dianarusso (Diana), @laurajteacheroz (Laura) and Anonymous for their generous donations 🙂 – feed myself rice and curry for lunch, go visit my cousin who came back from university for a week and feed myself pizza and garlic bread for dinner.

Today I signed up to be a part of Earth Hour 2011 hoping that all of the members of my immediate family would participate unfortunately for me I didn’t take into account that Kevin – my 10-year-old brother – couldn’t survive an hour without watching TV so we reached a compromise I told him he could use everything in the living room provided that everything else in the house was switched off and although I tried my best to my okay with it I remember feeling so annoyed that he refused to cooperate but then I realized that sometimes you should stand for something even if it means standing alone. Do you only make the right choice when you’re in the majority?
