Made a Difference Monday

So many of you have heard of "Make a difference Monday"...some of you perhaps have had something happen to you on a particular Monday that someone did something nice for you or maybe even you were the one that did something nice for someone else. 

Well today as I was driving home from my oncologist office...I started to reflect on this past year.  I began to realize that it was around this time last year that I started to "feel" sick.  It was about a week or so later that I had gone to a "local" hospital where I would later be informed that they had misdiagnosed what was "really" going on. 

As I started to think about what all has gone on in my life since September 2012...I couldn't help but to thank God first of all that I am still here...but also thankful to those that have supported me emotionally, financially, and spiritually through prayer.  I have had a rough journey over the last year...but some of you have made it easier and have taken off a lot of stress that I would have otherwise. 

So with that being said...I had cleaned out my closet the other day well...at least some of it.  I had found 2 cards in a bag of mine.  To my surprise I found more gift cards. So after I headed to pick up the girls from school I asked them where they wanted to eat. They had 2 choices...one card was for Rubios and the other one was for the Olive Garden.  It was hands down that we were headed to the "OG"...

Well here's where the "Make a Difference Monday" came into play...the girls had finished their meal and I asked for a box to take a good 3/4 of my linguini home. When the waiter came back...he informed me that once again...our meal was taken care of.  So to the loving person(s) that took care of our meal...THANK YOU!!! You truly Made a Difference. 

I pray that I am able to financially support my girls and myself in the near future...because my goal is to be able to pay it forward.  I want nothing more but to be able to see someone whether I know them or not and be able to pay for their meals, or their gas, or anything else that they might need. 

This journey hasn't been an easy one...but with you all continuing to uplift me in your thoughts and prayers...I know that God has a purpose for me.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 

Until next time...make a difference in some one's day! :)
