Well, I must have woken up on the other side of the bed today. Though, I'm tired... I'm not really interested in wining to much today. Saturday's work day paid off with a melow Sunday. Since we did make it to church Saturday night, I took the girls to Sunday school, and that was my only commitment. I even squeezed in a nap, a bike ride with the girls and some garending. Another beautiful day.
Commitment. I came SO CLOSE to blowing off day TWO of this challenge. But here I am typing away. So far so good. Another challenge we have signed up for is a weekly food pantry donation of 3 jars of peanut butter and jelly every week until the end of the year. Michael and I talked the the girls about people who are hungry, and find food gifts from generous people. We are going to start a money jar so that the girls can help around the house to help pay for the PB&J. (They seemed interested.) Will we all commit to this challenge? I hope so. Sadly, my kids know what it's like to have a coming close to empty pantry, like today. Though for us, payday is tomorrow... so we will make a trip to the store to pick out food for the next two weeks. How scary it must be to those families who will not have a payday and struggle to feed their children. Though I spent our last 5 dollars on jars of PB&J today, I tried to remember still how lucky we are.

I can so relate! I think you are doing the right thing. Of course it can always be worse, but helping someone else in need always takes the sting out for me.
