December 2018 One of the many holiday celebrations I was able to attend in La Crosse, WI with my Jazzercise buddies.
What a group of wonderful women! I miss their camaraderie in class exercising and socializing.
This week's musings are combined. There are just so many causes and individual situations which require more monies. The calls, the appeals, and the decision-making as to how we will be charitable in helping our society.
Monday was my day to finish up my monetary gift-giving. The pile of paper had already been alphabetized, yet there were still duplicate appeals to be eliminated. The little trash can filled to its brim in time for the Tuesday garbage pickup.
Incredibly, we all receive those same appeals throughout the year and when those verbal charity callers tire, my email inbox and mailbox are still plentiful in December. Verbally I always respond the same " I donate at the end of the year in December after reviewing all the year's requests. "This past year when specific life cycle events happened, it was even more important to make those donations priority and generously.
Relief flooded my state of being once that pile of donation mailings was dropped off inside the post office.
In such a wealthy country, we still have way too many in need...
