Cricks "need to stop" thread got me thinking. How we're bombarded with bad news 24/7, how things are harder and meaner than ever it seems. Holiday's are fast approaching and historically it always "gets worse" with the stress (and corporations love to let people go during the holidays to clean up for the new year...why why why).
I didn't want to hijack Crick's Thread, but I wanted to ask everyone here....what can we do OR what do you do to make things different. What are your ideas, maybe you'll inspire someone reading!
Do you make an effort to do one nice thing a day, what is that?
What's your favorite local, national or international charity and why. Have you started your own drive or organization (didn't OurDreamCameTrue, Castle's mom, do that?? Right from her own home?? How AMAZING is that?!
).
Do you have a link to an inspiring story? Like kids who collect winter coats, or kids who collect backpacks filled with school supplies for other kids who can't afford.
Ok, so I'll start. This year I'm having Thanksgiving at my house. I'm asking each person to bring one thing from our local woman's shelter's "wish list". Times are tough, so I'm not asking that folks go overboard..but many places need just the small basics....even donated like new clothing items right from your closet. Another example, If I get a three pack of cleaner from Costco, I'll keep 2 and give them 1.
So...what are your ideas to make things better out there?!
(NO politics or political lingo out here please!!)
