happy saturday

yesterday was the most amazing day that i have had in buenos aires. i went with students from a community service group at di tella called accion social to a library/school after school program. we got off the bus, and literally it was another world. now, i'm not saying that these kids are from 'poor' backgrounds, but comparatively speaking, let's just say it was 'imprecionante'. basically i got to play with kids, which is pretty much my forte in life. i had a giddy smile on my face the entire time. One tiny girl named Lulu, with dark brown hair in pigtails and a heart so big i was surprised that it could fit in her little body, stole me from the getgo. why is it that the children that have the least (by worldly standards) are the most happy?

i have been reading a book called 'cold tangerines' by shauna niequist. if you are looking for something deep and life changing, but an easy artistic read, give it a look. you won't be sorry.

what i'm listening to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw88xaU5uLg&NR=1

'if you are what you say you are, have no fear'

i think that if everyone danced for five minutes everyday, the world would be a much happier place... give it a try
