Today I was volunteering at my local library, when a man came up to me and asked if I volunteered because I wanted to or because I was on probation. I told the truth and said it was only because I wanted to be there and help. He then thanked me for my help at the library and continued about his day. This appreciation totally MMD!
Freed By Willy: Man Rescues Injured Baby Great White Shark
A Venice, Calif. man known only as “Willy” or “The Animal Whisperer” rescued a young great white shark that washed ashore last weekend. The shark had a fish hook in its mouth. Without saying anything, Willy walked up to the injured shark and carefully extracted the hook. Then, he and several surfers dragged the shark back into the ocean. Willy then disappeared as quickly as he had come.
“He didn’t say a word to anybody,” said a witness who caught the rescue on tape. “He just started digging to get the hook out of the shark’s mouth. I don’t know how he didn’t get bit, quite frankly. You could see the rows of teeth.”
I have visited my mom's grave frequently since she died nearly two years ago. Yesterday, while I was telling her about my daughter's birthday party, I started laughing because I knew she would have thought my story was hilarious. It was the first time I've had a taste of the fun we used to have since she left. IMMD.

When this one friend of mine goes to Starbucks and gives her name, and they consistently get it wrong. I suggested that she tell them her name is “Cha-Cha”. She finally did it today, and they finally got it right! IMOurD!

Multiple sclerosis patient finishes 50th marathon
Long distance runner Patrick Finney completed the Bellingham Bay Marathon in Wash. on Sunday, making him the first person with multiple sclerosis to complete a marathon in all 50 states. Though strong winds made the run difficult, and Finney felt queasy towards the end, he quickly recovered to celebrate with a group of nearly 30 friends from his home state of Texas.
When he was first diagnosed with MS in 1998, his MRI’s were consistent with “someone who should be in a wheelchair.” Doctors told him to take his medicine and take it easy, but Finney refused. He returned to a regimen of moderate running. By 2004, the disease had rendered him unable to walk. Through extensive rehabilitation and therapy, he slowly began to regain his ability to balance, walk, and eventually run. In 2005, he decided to run a half-marathon to see if he could finish. He did.
He ran his first full marathon the following year and finished that as well. A friend challenged him to run one in all 50 states by his 50th birthday. He had to accept. When he crossed the final finish line last Sunday, he was just a couple weeks past his 48th birthday.
“I have gotten to travel to a lot of new places and meet a lot of great people,” he said. “It’s been a wonderful experience.”
We were on the Amtrak for a very long ride. The food on the train is often very expensive and not that great. So we ordered a pizza and told them to deliver it to the train station ahead of us. After we stopped, we finally found the pizza guy as the train was about to leave, and enjoyed a delicious, cheap pizza instead of instant noodles.
