It's officially..

Breast Cancer Awareness Month!! Yay!! :)

After yesterday, I needed a day like today. Good news right from the start!

So, my sister has had a donation bucket set up at her place of work.

She called this morning to tell me that her boss had called her, saying that a large check was just dropped off for me. He didn't mention the amount of the check and basically just said she should go there to get it asap.

We had NO IDEA it was going to be....

$500.00!!

From an anonymous donor, no less. I was floored by that man's (whoever he is!) generosity!! Bless his heart. :) And a big thank you to him!

I think it was an angel that God sent because He knew that yesterday was such an emotionally draining day. Stress over school, work, radiation and an apartment I can't really afford.. then on top of that, my grandmother passing away.. it was just too much for me and I literally cried ALL day.
Along with the blessing of the donation, I woke up feeling better than I have in the last 5 days. I had more energy to unpack and get my apartment looking more like a home. Just a good day overall. God answered another prayer. :)

So, like I had mentioned earlier, October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
