One person can make an impact

I have been blessed in life to have 2 very loving, caring and spiritual sets of grandparents. Last night was a reminder to me about the type of people they are and the type of person I hope to become. My moms parents were honored with a dinner and award from the Archbishop of our Archdiocese last night for their spiritual faith and giving in their lifetime. This Legacy of Faith award has only been given to one other person in our history, so it is a huge honor. When Archbishop Flynn called for my grandparents up to accept the award my grandfather had prepared a small speech. Most people would expect for him to speak of how they were pleased to except this award, how they understand the needs of our Catholic Community, etc... NOPE, he spoke about the Community, how they have made this foundation what it is and never once spoke of himself or my grandmother. He concluded his speech with a very simple and modest "I still can't figure out how this happened, but thank you very much"...that was it. All credit to the amazing contributions and support he has given to make this foundation what it is was ignored. I was amazed by his modesty and pureness when accepting this award.
Anyways, both my mom and dads parents have given so much to the community and I hope that I too can find my way to support the community that has raised me so that it remains a beautiful place to grow up. It was so great to hear stories about my grandparents from all of their friends we don't see very often. They are very private and it means so much to me to have these stories and memories to pass on to my kids.
I know it is Wednesday and it is my WI day, let me just say, I have been off plan. Not horrible, but totally not tracking and not stressing over each bite. I am maintaining and I am fine with that. Once this next week is complete I will get back to tracking. The dinner last night, BTW, was amazing. I have never had such creamy potatoes and the grilled vegetables were just right. I did manage to only take one or two small bites of the chocolate cake thank goodness I could stand up by that time and walk away from it, I haven't had something taste so creamy and so rich and so to die for in a LONG time.
