I talked and she listened to my weekly health update.
In hospice with a deadly rare disease that has no symptomatic path to follow to chart progression, I have to put on a happy face for family and make things seem better than they are to make them feel better. I don't have to do that with nurse Amy.

My coworker found out I had taken out a 50,000 mortgage loan so I could receive holistic cancer treatments due to my latest diagnosis of stage IV cancer. She motivated me to create a gofundme page, then proceeded to help me push it out for donations. I was surprised she offered to help be an admin for my page while I was in the hospital for 30 days. Then she donated towards it, along with her brother and gathered more donations from other people some who worked with me and others who didn't know me. I was astonished when folks gave $2000, this was enough to pay back the minimum interest plus give a little towards the principal loan amount for the first couple of months. I didn't have to worry about marketing my page while I was in treatments which was so welcomed. I just focused on my daily treatments.
It made me feel good, and as if others really cared about what I was going thru. I dont have any real friends, and only speak with my coworkers who are not really friends, but they came thru in a wonderful way. Made me feel loved, which I hardly ever feel.

My assistant principal dropped in surprisingly on my class today to observe. After she left, she wrote me a note that said, "Hi Michelle. I appreciate the culture you have created in your classroom. It was clear to me that students feel comfortable sharing their ideas."
I felt optimistic and successful that I am doing a great job with making my students feel comfortable!

An opportunity to interview with maxim as a behaviorist.

I got to take my dog for a walk.
It made me happy and it was fun.

She had breakfast with me while she was visiting Arizona. We talked about our memories and I felt grateful for the time we spent together in the past and in the current moment.
This made me feel more connected to home in a way. I haven't been able to visit home in almost a year so its been taking a toll on me but I feel better now.

I decided to stay another year in Arizona with my best friend and roommate while I finish school.
It made me feel good, I felt important, and like she was excited that she got to keep me around. I felt wanted and needed, and that I truly added value to her life and she was grateful for it.

I posted about being acknowledged for work on Fb. They agreed with my words and said “these are perfect words” and “I am an inspiration”
Seen and validated

My dear friend is my partner in believing and my cheerleader. She listens and doesn’t judge.
I feel loved and supported and strengthened.

I was able to watch their dog while they went away for Thanksgiving. They had made other arrangements that fell apart at the last minute. They thanked me with a card and cash today. I am grateful that I am in a position to return the cash to them. The kind words on the card were enough!
I was glad to make a personal positive impact on someone else

I was talking with a friend today when I they started talking about how they were trying to buy something on sale but didn't have enough money. I offered to lend him the money and that he could pay me back later. He was very thankful and told me that he owed me one.
I didn't think too much of as it wasn't too much money but it did feel good to know they have my back.

My economics teacher was very leanet with talking in class, even contributing to the banter.
It always makes economics such a fun and lively class, I laugh often during it and over all just have a really good time, I even look forward to the class.

One of my fifth grade students left me a comment on our Google Classroom thanking me for being her teacher, and going out of my way to provide the class with materials for a science activity.
Awesome! It felt wonderful to be appreciated and thanked!

Spent quality time with me in a shared hobby.
Family is the most important thing in life. Spending time with loved ones is the best use of ones time. My brother and I had fun playing a game of cards. This helped him unwind from school and myself unwind from work.

A person I don't know well crossed the road and talked to me on the side of the street.
I feel seen, heard.

Johannes verbrachte mit mir Zeit. Wir zockten viel, haben über einiges geratscht, Spaß gehabt usw.. Und genau für diese Zeit bin ich sehr dankbar! Ich amüsiere mich immer sehr, da er ein wirklich sehr lieber und aufmerksamer Mensch ist. Ich schätze ihn wirklich sehr als besten Freund!
Ohne ihn hätte ich den Tag wahrscheinlich alleine verbracht und mich selbst irgendwie beschäftigt. Ich hätte ohne ihn deutlich weniger gelacht und Spaß gehabt. Ich hätte kein offenes Ohr für Gespräche und Gedanken gehabt!

I helped my job by working a private event at a members house party this past weekend. I was originally only scheduled to work from 4-8pm but the hosts asked if I could stay until 10pm because they were enjoying themselves so much. Although I was reluctant at first, I eventually said yes and helped serve their party for the extra two hours.
Obviously the extra compensation for working till 10pm was an incentive to stay but I wouldn't have done this for a member unless they treated me well while I was there. They thanked me and told me how much they appreciate me working their event because everything was "perfect" and it honestly made me feel happy about staying the extra time.

My brother bought me a plane ticket to Oregon for Christmas to see him and his family. He went out of his way and spent his hard earned money to get me to Oregon and it honestly means alot.
I've been in a tough financial spot this semester as I work as a server and between slow season (summers) and tuition/school expenses, I haven't had the extra money needed for a flight. By my brother buying my ticket, this will allow me to see my extended family and I couldn't be happier about it!

Me and my group partner in another class solidified our final project details. This is a big weight off our shoulders.
It was just relieving for the both of us because we now have a clear picture in our head about what our project should be.

I'm feeling grateful for the end of the semester and the ending of my academic career. I'm a senior with only my internship left for Spring 2022 so this is my final week of class.
I will be able to have a lot more free time and far less stress in my life.
