msfledermausIt's my Friday night. Sweet bliss...
I was watching tv with the Queen of Stuff, laundry chugging away when the doorbell rang. It was a guy collecting for Sisters Camelot, a non-prof that specializes in feeding the hungry with cast-offs from businesses and produce sites. They have a deal with Peaty where they drop off fruits and vegetables that are past their prime for the chickens, so we're pretty familiar to them. So, since they were indirectly feeding me by feeding the chickens, I gave them a donation to show my thanks.
Tonight I'm quietly thankful. It's corny, but it's true. I'm thankful that I have a little extra to share with other people. I'm thankful that I have resources, and loved ones, and friends and work and creative outlets. I'm thankful for my health...
I do wrestle with the occasional angst from time to time. Work and obligations can make me a little crazy. Interesting financial stuff is coming right up. I occasionally look at a group of little schoolkids and think, "I can't have any of those." and it makes me a little sad. That one took me a while to work through, and it's still not totally perfect...but it's a lot better than it was originally. And really, most of that stuff is pretty small potatoes compared to what other people have been going through, especially lately...
Sometimes I just want to hold everybody that hurts and let them know it's going to be okay, even if it isn't...
