Go Me!

2006/06/18

You know, it's been a long time since I've looked back at myself, and not just a single action, and was proud of myself. The last several days have just been fruitful. The first stage on a major project that I've been part leading went live, and aside for 2 hiccups which we knew about when it went out, it was a success. This has been over 6 months in the making, and now we jump into the next stage of it. I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity (Westchester chapter) today and am going back again on Saturday. My 3rd week of going to the gym as just ended, and while I wasn't going as much as I'd have liked because of the work deadline, I've kept at it when skipping it would have been much easier. I look forward to returning there Tuesday and Thursday. I got an odd message on my voice mail Saturday from the NY Blood Center. Apparently I'm a white blood cell match to a boy undergoing surgery today (Sunday). They asked if I could please donate. I called back but they'd already found enough volunteers, but asked that if any complications should arise this week would I be available? I said of course and don't hesitate to call. I'm glad they found enough donors because, one, it's reassuring to know there are good people in the world who would altruistically give of themselves, and two, I was rather looking forward to Habitat. Sometimes on day like today, life just feels right.
