With Thanksgiving coming up
I'm really counting my blessings.

This morning I was going through my drawers and closet, bagging up clothes I don't even wear to go to Goodwill.

I sat down at the computer to take a break and checked our local freecycle group. A man was posting asking if anyone had a 3X heavy coat because he met an indegent woman who needed one desperately. Here I am with so many clothes I can't even wear them all, and this woman was on the street last night. It froze here last night. :(

I gripe about the cost of things and talk about how poor we are.

We're not.

1. So true Spacemom.
I love freecycle! I was able to give away a number of coats and clothes that no longer fit me.

We're not poor at all, we are rich in love, warmth and caring ...

:hug:

2. I have an old 3X coat that I have shrunk out of
If you let me know where to send it, I will make sure to get it out into the mail this week.

3. I am so thankful for my Job, and home and family.
I know I posted that my car was hit this morning, but I told the little old lady who hit, that I am glad she was not hurt and that everyone was ok. I did not get mad or anything, and I am really happy she did not get hurt and I did not make her feel flustered. I am thankful for everything.
