Day 234
It is a bit tricky to put limits on being kind this time of year. It seems that everywhere you turn, there are requests for Thanksgiving donations and holiday toy drives. Saying no is hard, but it is impossible (financially) to always say yes, even if I know the need is great.
The studio where my sons take karate has been soliciting Thanksgiving basket donations for a local organization. The boys have been enthusiastic about wanting to participate, so today we dropped off gift cards for turkeys and some canned goods. I'm glad that they can be part of the process and are developing understanding that they should help when they can. The harder lesson we're finding, is teaching why sometimes we can't.
