St. Vincent de Paul

So, today I went to St. Vincent de Paul and did my service learning there with my group partner, A. We hold art classes/sessions once a week on Sundays for the homeless. It is great because it gives them something to do on a Sunday afternoon. Rather than being bored and sitting around watching T.V. they can make art with pencils, watercolors, charcoals, crayons, etc. Everyone is really nice and want to meet A and me. So far, I have made a lot of friends whom I see every Sunday :) Meeting everyone and talking to them has made me realize how much I take for granted and that I should be more thankful for what I perceive as daily necessities. Even privacy, I should be thankful for that, because none of the residents at St. Vincent de Paul get any sort of privacy. Today, we let them have another free session, which A and I figured they like because then they are allowed free creativity flow to make whatever they want. Aside from that we gave them the option to make hand turkeys in honor of Thanksgiving. One of the residents made a very beautiful and colorful turkey, it was so lively! He used purple, red, blue, green... and almost every color from the sixteen count Crayola Crayons. I kind of wish I could have kept it, keke.

Anyways, here is what I had for my meals today:

Breakfast:

1 cup Fage yogurt w/ honey

1/2 cup dried blueberries
