Gum Fairy
Tonight on my way to class I felt like I had nothing to give. I am extremely exhausted and surprised that I am having the energy to write. U feel like I got a taste of what a piece of real motherhood was like today. Taking kids into public is so much fun to watch them interact with the world around them, but at the same time it feels really draining...or it could have something to do with me not sleeping very well at all. I feel like death and cannot wait to go to sleep.The last thing I wanted to do was engage with people. Before lecture I talked with Stephanie about her sister(she was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago) and I caught her up on what she missed in class. I wanted to talk with other people that I have been conversing with but was fried out. I got a new pack of gum out of my purse and offered a piece to Steph, then to Andy next to me. Then I went to throw the wrapper away and I thought, "I should offer gum to other people." I asked Eric, Cory, Miranda, Justin, Ava, and everyone else but I cannot remember every person's name. I felt energized in giving. I sat back down and talked to Andy about Andy and how he was doing and listened to him tell me how tired he was. Steph leaned over to me and said,"That was really nice, you were like a little gum fairy. If it were me I would have offered you some and that would be it."

It is in the daily that we are able to bring the divine...
Thought I should add...it was Orbitz gum. One of the ways the word Orbit can be used is this way: A range of control or influence: “What magnetism drew these quaking ruined creatures into his orbit?
And for those of you who are wondering...I will not be pulling out Testamints next week...
