We don't appreciate enough, or do enough. We need to look around, and share more of our bounty. ______________________________________________ <em>It's a good time to reflect on all we have, I think.

I was moved last week to start looking for my own way to give, and I think I've found it. Weirdly, it seems I've been looking for a long time for this answer, I'm glad it finally came to me. I've posted about it and will be posting more soon. ~Angela :-) ____________________________________________ <em>Angela, I'm glad you're finding a way to act.

In the hustle and the bustle - the time on the roads, in the air, in lines, and in crowds - it is easy to get lost. In my mind, what you've written tells me that even though there are others who have more than I - I am still blessed and can use what I've been given to help those less fortunate - even if all I can do is to buy some extra canned goods each grocery run and give those to the food bank... every little bit counts. _____________________________________________ <em>Indeed it does. At some point, we have to start seeing what we can do, and not focusing on what we can't. At some point we must begin to ask not "What can go wrong" but "What can go right?" At some point we must readily inhabit our own abundance, acknowledge it for what it is, and act. With every can of food, you do just that. No act is too small. I'm so glad I have you as a companion on this journey. There are mouths to feed... and souls to reach... and a new world waiting to be born. ~W</em> Thank you for the reminder and the challenge.
