i'm writin' this blog not to brag or make myself look good in anyway...i'm writin' it to answer 1 question...the question as to why i work if i really don't have too...it's as if people think i'm lyin'...just because someone does something out of the ordinary doesn't mean they're lyin'...i'm so sick of people sayin' "if i didn't have to work i blame sure wouldn't"...turn somethin' good into somethin' bad...i have thought long and hard about quittin' my job...i HAVE been sooo blessed that i really don't have to work but, i do love what i do...i'll have to say when things get bad i ask myself "why are you puttin' up with this stuff...you don't have to work"...self reminds me that i'm needed and i do make a difference in the people's lives that i'm helpin' on the 2 days a week i work...i ask the lord to help me keep a positive attitude about my job...at least i have one when so many don't...sooo...i'm gonna use a portion of my paycheck to help...i'm givin' back...i came up with the perfect way to help~give hope...in may i saw how people gave prom dresses to help girls get to go to the prom and around the holidays people always remember the ones who have less...all of this is great but, i'm tired of givin' to the same causes...i wanna be different...i wanna give when other's don't...this put my mind in motion...one day it hit me...backpacks and school supplies...i have no children but, i used to be one soo this couldn't be all that hard...right...wrong...i don't remember havin' to have all this certain stuff to do homework...all i remember needin' is some paper and a pencil...when did homework get this particular?...i had to do my homework to find out what was needed...i don't ever remember havin' a school supply lists...i'm happy to say i've already purchased 14 backpacks with the supplies to fill them...i'm goin' to donate in secret...i'm not goin' make a big deal out of it...i don't want anyone in town(s) i give them to~to know it was me...i'm not lookin' for anything in return for doin' this...i'm just doin' it...pix to show some of the things i've gotten so far

...i have a couple months before school starts and the sky is the limit...remember it doesn't cost much to make a difference in someone's life...a kind word goes a long way...if we're given free will, then who are we as imperfect people to judge others?...if someone isn't bein' nice to you, kill them with kindness...ya never no what's goin' on in there life...never lose the opportunity to make someone smile/feel better...i'm not sayin' it'll be easy by no means...my first thought is to slap now and think later...however; i'm tryin' to change...i ran across a quote by gandhi~you must be the change you want to see in the world...everyone goes around fussin' and cryin' about how bad things are and yet they do nothin' to help change it...open a door for someone, smile, say good mornin', ask someone how they're doin', say please and thank you, don't just run over someone say your sorry...don't just go around mad at the world...this works both ways...the outcome is far better than your bad day...you'll feel better about you...if something bad happens or someone makes you mad...stop...think...smile and then laugh...others will learn from example when they see how you react...the way i see it...be happy and try to keep a positive attitude and thing will get better...the most important thing to remember is...
