Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 12

Today's Daily 5:
  1. a good hair day
  2. a mom who reassured me that it was okay to not be studying this morning if my brain just couldn't take anymore
  3. being buoyed on the prayers of friends
  4. supernatural peace
  5. wearing a new scarf - a gift that arrived in the mail from Germany this week
  6. the body worlds exhibit - very cool after studying anatomy for the last two months
  7. writing my last exam and finishing up school for the summer
  8. Vietnamese sub sandwich
  9. house church
  10. baby giggles

What makes you alive?

I am writing my last final exam today.  The anatomy exam that I've been worrying about, (and trying not to worry about) for the last week or two.  I have been reminding myself that I am doing this because I am moving towards a goal that makes me feel alive.

I came across this quote recently, and loved it.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive.
And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

- Howard Thurman

What makes you feel alive?  Are you doing that?
