Make a Difference Day
"If you want to change the would, shut your mouth and start this minute." - Cracker
Tomorrow is National Make a Difference Day. The youngster and I will travel to some warehouse in downtown J'ville to help an effort to pack backpacks with donated books and presents for underprivileged kids. Neither of us are great wrappers or packers. Last year they put us on trash detail. We unpacked boxes and took all the trash generated from the project to a huge dumpster. The point is, we did something. Something is being done this Saturday all over this country, in tons of little projects like ours. None, in and of themselves, make a huge impact on society, but all together they brighten the days of many. Are you doing anything?

J, you and your youngster are really wonderful caring people. It's guys like you who make the world better, even if it's only taking out the trash. :)
It's not so much about us though, as it is about other people. I didn't post that to say "Yay me!" I posted it more because I want more company on stuff like that.
There are plenty of people who have that time to give...and it's really not that much. You just have to be in the right mindset and make an effort. I mean, Saturday morning, sure, we got up early, but we were finished at the warehouse by 10:30. We were home by 11:00, and had plenty of the rest of the day to do the things we needed to do. We all just need to make the effort, and we can all make a difference.
