I am ashamed to say that I have been caught up in the "must have" and instant gratification world that we live in, and I am tired of it. I want to make a bigger difference in this world, not just consume the world. I am not just speaking of products and obtaining the latest gadget, but I am also thinking of the taking with no regard to other's feelings and needs. I want to be a giver, without judgement, and in the process, hope to teach my child what is most important in this brief life.

Could It Have Been Any Easier?
I am quite frustrated today...why? Today was the day that I was delivering donations for the Ronald McDonald House in our community. Donations of paper towels and grab and go size snacks. Our department was collecting a donation as a part of PT month. I am so angry because in a department with almost 40 therapists, all making a decent salary...only a quarter participated. We only dropped off 12 things...and I know that I brought in two of them as did one other therapist. I just can't believe that others in our department could not afford a few dollars for some snacks or a couple of rolls of paper towels. They don't seem to have a problem getting new vehicles, nice phones, or travelling...I am ranting. The people at the RMH were so happy to get the little that we brought! That did make my day...I just wish we could have been more giving as a department...it really showed me where people's hearts are.
