Well, the first week in the new year is over. I'm actually feeing quite happy. Last night I went to a movie with a friend and I got home really late and then, this morning I had to wake up early to go to work.
I was thinking a lot about work and everything and it seems like, we or I go to work every day to make money so that I can spend it. Not just spend it on any thing but, things like rent, food, and well, entertainment like, going out with friends and family.
One of my goals for this year is to save some money....or if i can't save at least to use is a little more wisely. Well, I've also decided to chillax a little more this year and not work so much but, knowing me, I'll probably end up working lots as well.
Today I went to Mc Donalds with a friend after work and there was a homeless person asking for money right in front of the door of Mc Donalds. I felt really bad that he was sitting right there at the door and I didn't give him any money. There are so much homeless people and some times I wonder what we all do with our money .... I know I can't help every one but, ...I feel really sad inside.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this but, during Christmas, since I live on my own now, I wanted to make some new traditions for myself that I would do every year during Christmas and one of the projects was that I would save $10 and give it to a homeless person on Christmas day so that they would also have a gift to open. So, this year I wrapped a chocolate up and in the Christmas card I gave him $10. Also, my friend sent me a check to give it to a homeless person as well. So, on Christmas Day I went out and the first homeless person I saw I gave him the gift and wished him a Merry Christmas. At least one day a year I can help some one and make them, hopefully feel happy. Well, this is one tradition I want to keep doing every year and possibly get more of my friends involved.
Well, I'll write again tomorrow. Happy first week!

What a really nice idea! To not just give him the money, but to wrap it up and give him a gift on Christmas day! That was lovely.
