Finally got my snowball for the season!
2. Feeling down? Go read this post from Ashten; seriously, go do it right now. I woke up feeling a little blah yesterday and then read it and instantly felt better. I often feel like a I don't matter and what I say and do is so small nobody would notice if I just stopped, but this was a good reminder that for someone somewhere I add value to their life.
3. Did you hear about Devon Still? The Cincinnati Bengals player was released from the team, but then resigned when it was revealed that his young daughter is battling cancer. The team later said all profits from the sale of his jersey would go towards pediatric cancer research, moved by the gesture New Orleans Saints' coach Sean Payton bought 100 of the jerseys. Sports news so often seems to be dominated by stories of players and coaches doing the wrong thing. It was really refreshing to have a story of these people not just using their influence for good, but being genuinely good humans.

5. I randomly found this playlist on Spotify yesterday and it's everything. I guess they publish a new Throwback Thursday one each week. I feel like I'm back in my Mimi's kitchen dancing around as she cooks dinner when I'd go visit as a little girl
I love the Devon Still story! It brought me to tears the first time a read about it. Such a class act for both, the Bengals and Saints.
