Ouch…Yay…Etc…
When in counseling, and even now in my group therapy, I had
to “check in” which meant expressing my feelings at the moment. Are you HAPPY?
GLAD? SAD? or SCARED? You can only use this statement, filling in with one of
those four words, and say…
“I feel ___________”
For me, most of the time, I was happy or glad. Occasionally,
I would be sad or scared, especially during the early days of my divorce.
Today, I feel a mix of all of those…
“I feel all of the above!”
I am happy because of the success of my
#operationlaundrybasket. So many kind people have donated to give me a great
start! It truly makes my heart swell! Thanks to those who have donated already
and thanks in advance to those of you who will be sending later…Just in case
you need it, here is the Amazon Wish List link!
I feel sad because I saw a room full of donated
items and although I know there is more, those things won’t go far. There have
been about 20+ families served so far but they are starting to arrive in larger
groups. Our laundry baskets will be given to each family, regardless of if they
get anything else up front or not. Many churches and organizations have chosen
to “adopt-a-family” or group, which is terrific. There are so many groups in
Louisville, and if each group could do one family, it would be amazing. Sadly, many
groups are struggling with their own needs for their clients.
Our little piece of this big picture makes me glad.
I’m not going to lie, I feel like we offered a great, something new, welcome
basket. I’m very glad that the first 24 baskets have left our house and
we are back to collecting additional supplies now staged in our basement. I am
also glad that my family has embraced my crazy plan!
Although I’m not really scared at this point, I am a
little scared that I won’t be able to fill the goal of 200. After taking
this load of 24, I realized we will need to make 8-9 more trips and that’s not
going to be easy! I won’t focus on that…I’ll focus on doing what we can and hopefully,
it will be enough!
I am also glad that I have received my booster for my
Moderna vaccine today! I’m a little scared that I may have some aches and pains
tonight…but right now…I can handle it!
How are you doing? Why don’t you let me know how you feel
today…Leave me a message or put it in the comments…
“I feel ___________!” I hope you are happy or glad! But if
you are scared or sad, let me know! I’m here for ya!!! Xoxoxoxo
PS…I’m getting a CeCe fix this weekend..stay tuned for
grandma overload!! xoxoxo
