humbled

I've been thinking about this post for a couple of days.  I've been putting it off and was going to one more day, but I think I should write it today to remind me to be nice, especially to her.

In my apartment there are 4 of us and two bathrooms. When I move in it seemed like I was the only one supplying toilet paper in the bathroom that I share with one of my roommates.  Needless to say I was getting really annoyed.  So instead of putting a new roll on the dispenser I put it in my drawer.  Since it was there, I'd be the only one to use it; no more supplying her if she wasn't going to at least offer to help buy toilet paper or put a couple of rolls in the bathroom sometimes.

One of my other roommates noticed that when no one was home she'd put toilet paper from the other bathroom in little piles in her drawer.  We just thought it was strange and laughed it off.

After Christmas, one of my roommates noticed that she wasn't eating anything but cream of wheat.  My roommate talked to relief society about getting help her her she'd have more food.

Then I had a realization.  She wasn't supplying toilet paper because she couldn't afford it.

I instantly started putting toilet paper back on the dispenser.

I have been blessed financially since I've been at BYU.  This is the least I could do to prove how grateful I am for it.  It was surely an eye opener for me about how much I take small things for granted.
