Feel Good Friday

Happy Friday and happy December! I am in disbelief that we are in December already. ( I know I say it every month but its true, I am always in disbelief.) This week was a fun week. Another work project came finished on part and started another part. Both parts went/are going smoothly- which always makes me think "OH NO!" something is going to go wrong but I am hopeful this is going to be smooth sailing (knock on wood!) This week I also celebrated 1 year in my current position. It's been a year of learning and unusual things happening but I am so excited that I have one year under my belt and I am curious to see what this next year brings.

I am waiting to decorate my office for Christmas because of the construction that is still happening in my office. I didn't even attempt to clean up the dust/mess yet because I know it will just look the same way the next day and to be honest, I have a lot more important things to do than to clean right now. HA!

I am sharing some sweet stories I found on the internet in the last few weeks. I hope these stories bring a smile to your face and a warmness inside of you.

First Ironman with Down Syndrome /// I love this. Chris is such an inspiration to everyone. His goal is to get 1% better and he did that and was able to complete an Ironman competition under 17 hours. Can you imagine swimming for 2.5 miles, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run in 17 hours?! He did not give up and he just kept going. Way to go Chris!

Local Entrepreneurs Pay for Groceries Before Thanksgiving/// This reminded me of a flash mob; These entrepreneurs showed up at a grocery story in Atlanta and started paying for peoples groceries before Thanksgiving. What a neat idea and a great way to share holiday joy. 

Food Store Employee helps mom /// You never know what a small act of kindness can do for a person and this employee made such a HUGE impact on this mom's day. He didn't have to take the extra step but he did and he provided happiness in the form of sandwiches.

Best Neighborhood Ever/// When you move into a neighborhood you hope to get great neighbors; in this neighborhood, they really went above and beyond for their sick neighbor. Kudos to you good neighbors.

Okay, I think that wraps up my Feel Good Friday Finds. I know I had to keep some tissues nearby because these stories are just too sweet. 

My plans for this weekend include doing the homework I procrastinated on all week, watching an obscene amount of Hallmark Movies and working on some fun things for WGJ.

I am linking up with Andrea and Erika today for Friday Favorites.

What is on YOUR Christmas list this year?
