[Monday]

I went to a friend's Christmas party where we each brought bags of groceries that she delivers to the local food pantry.

Then I started thinking of my good fortune...and called the local food pantry to get the name of a family whom I could 'adopt' for Christmas.

I called them, found out how many in their family and will deliver a gift certificate from Walmart to them on Monday.
Makes me feel good to help someone else have a happier holiday.

I had been doing this for years in a different way. Used to do it with my class, but then the Board of Education said
we could not collect $$$ from the children to make donations <????>
so I continued it myself. Now I shall add this other method so I can help others.
