It's OK (by me)

It's that time again. A time to reflect on what we did a little less then perfect but, who cares!  Shake it off! It's ok! I'm going to play along with airingmylaundry today as I tell you what items/events/activities are OK by me.

Check out her latest post here.

It's OK that I caught brief bits of the Fergie performance but don't feel the need to see the show so I can add to the conversation.

It's OK that I am enjoying the winter Olympics so much because not everyone can pull off these winter sports like thesee guys.  I'm just in awe of all of the shows.    

It's OK that I failed another attempt to donate blood for the Red Cross but I received some tips and should be able to donate successfully next time.

It's OK that we went to see Peter Rabbit a couple of weeks ago and the kids and I still talk about it based on commercials we see.

  Cheers to a new week! Goodbye to last week!  I will be OK no matter what!   Looking back at the past few days or weeks what are you OK with?

Motivation Monday

  A little motivation for your week is a Monday off!

    We didn't get to a service day event but, if you did I would love to hear about it.

  Each year I set goals to volunteer.  I bring my family.  I go by myself too but, all that matters is that it gets done.

  Do you volunteer?  Alone with family a group or even your church?

  I have volunteered with organization's and for organizations and plan to continue that this year.

  I will volunteer or donate to local organizations with my family, with the kids and by myself.

Areas I plan on volunteering with in my local area are:
1. Red Cross
2. Ronald McDonald House
3. Edmarc
4. ASPCA
5. Roc Solid
6. Foodbank
7. Meals on Wheels
8. Salvation Army
9. Soup kitchen
10. Military


  Volunteering doesn't always include monetary contributions.  It also includes donations. 

 You can donate clothes, books and household items.

  You can collect hats, scarves, socks and coats!

  Assembling boxes for the military or operation shoebox.

  However don't limit yourself to staying inside the box.  Random acts of kindness are just as good.  Paying for someones coffee!  Cookies to your fire department! Or even cards to nursing home residents!

  My goal in the area of volunteering is to do something every month.
