Re:holidays Safetykc: And Time is on your side Pic.
But I was replying to inebr on this one. You mentioned how you started being down and then thought of families who were more unfortunate than you and it made you realize you didnt have it so bad...not to plug, but really think about giving something to Toys for Tots.
I always sign up to bring in a few toys a year around Christmas for them and let me tell you, those kids really a)deserve it and b)it costs very little to make their Christmas...
Folks, It's easy at this time of year and with as down as we are with the holidays to forgot how much more we are blessed with than what we are missing.
I am sure there is a local chapter near you and they always have lists and convenient drop off points for toys for children that need them.
And if you are really feeling down...actually visit when they are handing out the presents to the kids. My boss got the opportunity to do that 2 years ago, and he cried when he told me about it. The sheer joy on their faces...sorry :'( rambling just chokes me up...s
This topic gets to me...but it just makes you think. They get one present...just one...and its like you gave them the world...I know we have our problems with divorce and the pain we are going through, but these kids have verry little and its so easy to brighten their lives...
Think about it...and big hugs!!!!
Re:holidays inebr: I would love to see the kids faces, I got choked up reading about it. . It really does put things in perspective, you're right. The opportunities I have been lucky enough to have in this life, ...sometimes it's just so easy to get caught up in what's missing. Another thing too are the old people that are in homes and don't have families that visit them. Or the homeless shelters....
Re:holidays Safetykc: I got choked up too...had to step away...
BUT NOW YOUR TALKING INEBR!!!
There are opportunities all around us to brighten lives if we just open our eyes...
Take care...
