A piggy and charity


Saturday, February 23.  Sorry about the exhaustion yesterday.  Maybe that's a good thing.  Anyway, I can't remember all the details about yesterday, other than I had a good meeting with Mike and David, real estate guys, and a great session with Bob about my current struggles.  I learned a lot in my lunch meeting, and may have a real opportunity coming up.  Due diligence needed, but I am cautiously optimistic.


My session with Bob was effective.  I read him my poem too, and cried again.  He encouraged me to continue writing.  He said something interesting.  He said that perhaps the weeping that happens when I read what I write is my spirit, my true being, giving gratitude for being honest to what's in my heart.  A very different perspective I've never thought about.  He went on to suggest that I draw pictures of those things that frighten me, that create anxiety.  Again, facing exactly what scares me.  So later I went to Meijer's to buy some newsprint and charcoal.  We'll see what I do with that.  It excited me and scares me.


My new thing today is to make use of my new red piggy bank.  All loose change and money I can spare will go into the piggy, and at the end of the year I will donate the money to charity.  I know it won't be much, but the idea made me feel good.  I already have a start, and if any of you want to send me checks for the same reason, please do.  It is tax deductible, you know.   And good for the heart!


I'm going to end today and immediately start today's entry, so so long for now.  Later alligators!
