A Month of Gratitude - Day 5

Sunday, December 12, 2010
Yesterday, the Smart Man and I had a number of errands to run. Normally errands are just a boring part of life maintenance, but one of our stops yesterday was our local Target, where we spent time filling up a shopping cart with a variety of toys. We then went to our local Toys for Tots collection point to drop off the haul. Our collection point (the Parker location of Keller Automotive) had so many donations the boxes were overflowing and piles of loot had taken over the entire back half of their waiting area.

Today, I'm grateful I have the means to support not only a nice Christmas for my own family, but for others' as well. The bonus? I live in a community that feels the same way.




Semper Fi, Santa Claus.

One of my police officers just had her house burn to the ground. I'm grateful her family made it out without injury. And I'm grateful I have the means to help her. I'm also grateful I'm on this side of the equation.
