Blessings

Before I left home one of our family dinner conversations got a debate going. My mom said she had read somewhere a quote that said something like, "There are those in the world that see everything in the world as a miracle, and those who see do not see anything as being a miracle." I decided I am definitely one who sees everything as being miraculous. I mean, this topic got my brother riled up and chatting at the dinner table, which at this point is DEFINITELY a miraculous thing in my opinion! (Love you boy. Haha) Although I am not religious, I have some sort of faith. Sorting it out though and putting rules on it does not make sense to me though at this point. However, I do believe there is reason to do good. That conversation inspired me to focus my blog on the blessings, miracles, or just GOOD things that happen to me on this study abroad.

I decided the other day that because I do not have a home yet, lost luggage was a good thing. Nothing but a backpack to lug around. "Free baggage check" as my father put it. Although, the same clothes for five days in a row now...well that's not true. My fellow girl exchangers have all been willing to share their everything with me. Right down to the underwear. Seriously though. Vittoria gifted me a couple of never-worn pairs. Friends are GOOD! Corrin (another one of the WSU program, housemate of Vittoria and Paula) lent me her MAC charger so as to keep in touch with family and friends at home and write this.

The other day the security guard that made all the phone calls for me went truly out of his way to help me. Phone calls, bathroom access, a place to sit and comforting words went a long way to console me.

So. Although it might be truly cheeseball, I intend to mention at least one amazing thing that happens to me every blog. Yay blessings!
