Sharing

Hello,

 

Sharing gives such a good feeling. Yesterday, one of my coworkers commented that there were still some bears left after the last give away. She wondered if I would want to put them in front of my house for free. I also told her that I could hand them on to someone who works with many of the homeless shelters/free meal sites.I could I see if she would be able to think of a use for them. It was ok for me to do that.

 

Today when I called to tell my friend how many bears were available, she was pleased to say that she could find someone to take them. I also told her that we had some suit hangers and did she know someplace that might use them. Again she said, “Yes, the refugee resettlement center could certainly use them.”

 

“Leroy is getting rid of his suits because they are too big for him, would they want them too?”

 

After an affirmative on that I went through my closet and drawers to pull out two sweaters that I no longer wear as well as some dress slacks and a wool skirt that is too large for me. She was pleased to see all of it. I am so happy to get these things out of my house.

 

In return, she shared some produce that she had in abundance that was almost ready to be eliminated. We were happy for that exchange even though it was not required.
