Hey there! Man is it cold out there! Please be safe during these really cold days, check on people that are home bound. If you do not have to go anywhere please stay off the road. The worse thing would be to break down in this weather! Remember to bring the animals in- if you are cold they are cold! I hope to see some of you at the Pow Wow up at Black Bear this weekend.
Was reading in the paper about a guy who gave a lady at the Red Cross Drug Store some money during the holidays. The person writing the letter was one of the people who was there to witness such a great act of generosity! Many people call it paying something forward... you give something to someone and at a point in their life they do the same for someone else (pay it forward). I have had the privilege of having someone help me out and it was awesome! I am still friends with Amanda! But I have to say when I was the person helping someone else out it changed my life. It humbled me in a way that I can not explain. It made me realize that a true love for another human being is possible, I don't need to know them, I may never see them again, but that I can help them in that one hard moment in their life. It is a true connection with that person, its what God would want us to do. The best is when you do it anonymous. So I send out a challenge to everyone who reads this.... go do something for someone. No strings attached, no IOU's! It could be as simple as a book given to a reader, it could be money given to a single mom. I would love to hear some of what is going on out there. So let me know and I will keep all peoples names out of the column. We all need a little positive energy in our lives.
Hope you had a wonderful and safe holiday! I am sure there were alot of people traveling. I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday celebrating it in whatever way you choose! I hope each of you had some down time to just do something for yourself! Our holiday was spent at home, eating and watching movies, knitting! Sometimes its the lack of running around and just sitting still is the best part of the holiday!
