Good News Day

I am tired of sad news. I feel like that is what the last eightish months have brought.



I woke up yesterday and decided that it was going to be a good news day. But when was that good news going to show up? It was a rainy day. Clearly the weather wasn't helping. I needed to buy a doll for my daughter. Three stores later... well let me just say I am not happy with what I bought. I know it is just a doll, but my daughter is super special and I needed to get the perfect one.

 Next came work. Work is work. Nothing exciting.

I checked the donations total, no increase. I just can't seem to figure out how to convince more people to donate. I am just about out of ideas. I have friended just about everyone I can think of. Some have donated, some have not. Let's just hope they are waiting for the right moment.

Cut to the end of my day. Kids are asleep and I am winding down. Usually involves a pint of rocky road and an episode of House Hunters. This time it was different. Each time a donation is made, I receive an email with an update. Tonight, three emails. It always gets my heart pumping a little faster. Instead of looking at the emails, I went to the donation link to see the new total. $1000.00!!!!!!!! I could not have asked for a better good news day. So, I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has donated in honor of my mom, your mom, or anyone who has been touched by cancer. You are making a difference and you are putting a smile on a face that has felt sad for a long time.

We can't stop now. This much money in a month is huge. Send the link to everyone you know. Ask everyone you know for a dollar, I do. Pancreatic cancer research needs a million dollars. We are moving a mountain, one scoop at a time.
