Holidays

Its another Friday! Woo hoo!
This weekend we are decorating our home for the very first time! My lovely mommy gave us all her Christmas decorations that she has saved up over the years and has transfered the tradition over to my family and I. Oh I will take pictures, you just wait :) No tree this weekend though. Gav and I decided our little girl has waaaay too many toys. So we are going to go through them together (with Naima) and pick out ones she doesn't play with anymore and give them to children that are in need. This is going to be such a great learning experience instead of just me going through them and picking. I believe it is so important to give. There are an unbelievable amount of children living in very low income homes that cannot justify buying their children even used toys. Its breaks my heart, knowing that a simple thing like blocks, can help build a child's brain, dexterity and understanding. It could even help them get a job one day because they have that skill.
I have been designated the happiest and most positive person in the class via one of my instructors. It feels good I think, I never thought of myself being THAT positive... I'm going to start kicking negative people in the bums. There is nothing good that can come out of being negative.
I was thinking about the most difficult thing about being in Vancouver away from my home and family is not getting physical touch. Oh my goodness I miss it! I NEED hugs. It kinda even depresses me sometimes. My aunt that I am living with is not very touchy, and I cant go around hugging my classmates. I accidentally hugged one of my instructors though the other day. She hugged me back. It was that sideways hug where its just super friendly. It made me happy! :D
Have a great weekend everyone!
