I downloaded The World Community Grid so I can do my part by using my computer to help in the fight against AIDS, cancer, and muscular dystrophy.

What U Did Today is an idea that came to life when a few of us got together and realized that in today's world, so often, friends and family are separated by great distances. Sometimes these distances are due to geography, just as often, they're emotional. Nonetheless, we all realized that sometimes we would just like to be able to tell SOMEONE how our day was. So we started this site as a place where anyone can come and tell the rest of us what happened today. Triumphs, small or big, are welcomed, and the inevitable losses we all suffer (and are far more in number it always seems) will be shared as well. Unless you advise us otherwise, we will post your first name and location with your entry. But don't worry, your other information will NEVER be shared. So go ahead, open up, Send us an email telling us how your day was, we all have THOSE days, good and bad....and it's always better when you know that SOMEONE is listening.

Today I did some volunteer work for a homeless shelter downtown. I'd been meaning to for a long time, but life's always too busy, or so it seems. It was actually a little scary, but I'm very glad I went, and if nothing else, it makes me thankful for everything I do have in my life.
