30 Days of Celebrating Me Day 1: Compassion

Today I am celebrating Compassion. The amazing thing about this process is that it is already causing me to think deep about myself and the good traits/characteristics/behaviour etc that I might possess. I woke up just after 02:00 am this morning and my brain was already at work literally writing the script for today and I thought to myself this is going to be exciting.

My inspiration to celebrate my compassionate side stems from a conversation on Facebook and I realized that deep down I care about people and animals - Even though I am not animal friendly. There is a verse from the bible that I always quote "Let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven" Depending on who is reading the verse, it could mean anything. For me this simply means that as long as I can make an impact while I'm here on earth, not to those who can walk around and say "You know Cherukei did this for me, or Cherukei is such a nice girl..." It's about looking out for those that can't afford basic amenities - Coffee/Tea and breakfast for the random homeless man lying out there in the cold, Helping someone who's stranded, lost their way etc. For a change I'm not going to try to water this down, I'm going to just appreciate that I have a heart and I go the extra mile when it is required of me without expecting anything in return. So here's to compassion!

Note to self: Buy some wine, there's a lot to celebrate in the coming weeks.
