Today was a pretty sucky day. Two of my best friends went back to school already and I got in a stupid petty fight with my mom, who I intended to be my Monday. However, I was getting so frustrated with her, there was no way I was going to let her receive my nice thing. (Don't judge me. It's a long path to being a better person)
So, this morning I was up really early because I couldn't sleep and I decided to let Megan be my Monday. Megan had to go back to school this morning because she is taking a winter class. I know most of Megan's friends aren't at school and she's probobly really lonely/very bored, as I would be. Also, though, Megan had a rough winter break with some of my other friends. So, I just wanted to make sure she knew I was still here for her and thinking of her. So my nice thing for Monday was a simple facebook post to my dear friend Megan wishing her good luck on the first day of her classes and hoping she has fun sitting in the front row (it's part of her own goal to become a better student. Yeah, I know, I have great friends). I feel like Facebook will probobly be a means for a lot of my nice things throughout the year, but I'm going to try and challenge myself more.
I was having a conversation about my nice challenge with my best friend Lindsay and she was telling me how a friend of hers tried something similar and wrote letters to someone each day who had an impact on his life, so Lindsay's friend got this letter from an old friend she hadn't talked to in years. I'm still working up the courage to do this, but it definitely gave me something to think about and some inspiration for later days. So thanks lindsay for the support.
Anyway, back to Megan. Megan responded to my wall post that afternoon saying how much she appreciated my encouragement and how she was slowly adapting to sitting in the front row. Most of all though, I know that even if she didn't say it, she appreciated that I was showing that no matter what petty drama was occurring between our other friends, I was still there for her, as I have been since the 4th grade.
Good Luck with school Megs, I love you and thanks for being my Monday!
Be Nice ;)
PS Forgot to mention this yesterday. Part of my hang-out-with my sister yesterday was helping her set up a twitter. I just got a tweet saying she was falling asleep watching Jersey Shore. It made me smile knowing my crazy sister has a twitter and I can follow her.
