Some of us are spiraling out of control with our fears of what the future holds. I would like you to just try to focus on today. Are you and your family safe right now? Right now, are you warm and fed?

If you want to venture out into this crazy snowstorm to help others, please do so. Ease your mind right now. Link up with the Denver Rescue Mission or your local version of a soup kitchen. Volunteer to feed people. Gather up your old sleeping bags, blankets, and used coats. Put them in your car and take them to the nearest shelter for those in need.

Shout out to your local municipality and ask: “How are we doing? How are we going to get through today and the next day? What can I do right now to help locally and globally?

If we sit at home and get more depressed, we won’t get through the winter. Keep doing your job to the best of your ability and make one person smile each day.

Get out to your local Senior Center and have lunch with those folks! Talk to them and make their day! (Just remember that most places would like you to call for a reservation and a small donation. So, call in advance.)

I’m donating on the Colorado Gives site: https://www.coloradogives.org/

As of today, there are 4,220 organizations listed on this site. I don’t have the funds to give millions (like some of our illustrious billionaires should be doing). But, I give a little to my favorite charities. Even if it is $25.00, $50.00, or even $100.00 that will help all those in need. It will ease your mind that you are doing something! And, of course, it’s a tax write-off!

I’m also knitting scarves like a madwoman to give away, and am stocking up for the holidays. I am keeping busy, trying to keep my family safe, and household in order. So let’s all do one thing each day to help another today. Let me know your ideas!
