Been awhile since I updated. Re-read what I last wrote and I wanted to update that things have changed on that front since then.
This year I gave more freely. I bought a $10 pen from an aunty who asked. I didn’t have cash but I paynow-ed her. I decided that I could easily sleep whether or not I had that $10.
Just a week after that I was even approached by a guy who looked like he was a bit slow, he had asked for food. The only thing nearby was a cafe so I bought a ~$20 pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have done what I felt is right.\u00a0And I’m grateful for the opportunity. Were they the ones in need or was I?
I’ve started volunteering with a fitness group who trains people with special needs. It’s a struggle at times, and I’m still fighting myself about this.
I’ve also started teaching a group of people affiliated with the National Arthritis Foundation. It’s at an inconvenient time slot for me that burns my Saturday but it’s been mostly rewarding and even though it’s not about the money I’m not doing it for free.
And yet again, are they the ones in need or is it really me trying to fill my own cup?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even as I type this, should I really just keep these things to myself?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
