29-Day Giving Challenge

Kahlil Gibran:

“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.”

Giving water from a dry well.  Woke up tired today with an unquenchable thirst.  Took my 87 year old mother and her dear caregiver grocery shopping with my husband's assistance.  Bought everyone a Coffee Coolata from Dunkin Donuts to kick start the trip.  After returning them home safely and helping to put the groceries away, my husband and I went to visit his 86 year old mother and her caregiver.  We returned home and put our groceries away.  

For well over a year now, I have been a virtual volunteer... working daily on the welcoming committee and the birthday committee of IDC.  IDC is an online social networking site for people with invisible disabilities.  http://www.invisibledisabilitiescommunity.org/

Welcomed the newbies and wished Happy Birthday to those whose birth fell on today's date.  Time to take a nap and refill the well.
