Holiday Suggestion

Seeing one made, might I make another?

Here, in Sac, we have an annual Toy Drive called "Toys for Troups Kids". It starts the day after Thanks Giving and goes until Christmas.

That is sorta my Christmas Thing...I am going to be hoping that my new area has something similar going on...I am sure that it does.

Maybe those who don't have someone special to think of this year might think of doing a bit of shopping for some Kids?

Wonderful suggestion!! My parents encouraged this for our family during our entire childhood. I'd have to say that one of my fondest memories of the holiday season as a child and young adult was shopping for a child or struggling family. It was fun to try to pick out things that would bring a smile to them over the holidays. An act of kindness can really make the holidays special for others who may be struggling to believe friendship and kindness exists in the world.

We've picked up angel tree requests every year--I get one, and each one of the kids would get one. Then we would go out and do the christmas shopping for our "angels". I'm looking at changing some of our traditionals, but this is one we will keep.

Here in Ottawa we have what the radio stations call Toy Mountain... same idea...

I'm sure you will find something that you can donate to.

It gives us pause to remember, that even though it seems like our lives are falling down around our ears, many of us at least have a roof over our head, and food in our tummy.

Imagine if you couldn't afford the basics, and your child was facing a toy-less Christmas.

Let's all count our blessings, and share what we can with others less fortunate than us!!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
