I saw this picture and I fell in love, I don't know what it is about the picture, it has a haunted, southern feel that I just love.

Today I read about a local charity and it made me so happy and inspired. I thought to myself , I'm going to do that! Except I think I'll keep a few in my car just in case I see an soaked stranger walking by. My street in my neighborhood is small and I don't know how many people I could help. Because spring showers are here and more are coming, I thought this would be a good deed to try. It could be your 17 second miracle for the day!

Umbrellas for Strangers is a home-run charity wherein we collect umbrellas in a secure, dry area of our house. On a day like today, we will watch vigilantly out the window. Upon our viewing of a stranger caught without covering, we will dispatch an umbrella to the unaware stranger, thus saving our new friend from wetness, annoyance and possibly pneumonia/death. When that stranger has no more use of the umbrella, he/she can kindly return it to our doorstep (thanks is not necessary, and we don't eat treats from strangers, unless they are pre-wrapped treats, Snickers and the like).

From the Heart, comes the truth!

A short conversation that made my day, maybe even my week !

ME: Sometimes I wish I could work so that I could feel like I'm helping out money wise, I feel like I don't do anything important!

FRIEND: yeah, it is hard because the stay at home work isn't as recognized or looked at by society as important, but to me that's where the importance is. How i look at it is men are by nature providers, they work to provide and support their family. In our modern times that is done by making money to pay for stuff. Women by nature are nurturers. And by modern society this is frowned upon and women, such as yourself, feel that it isn't "important" when it is more important than providing for. what you are doing is very very very very important.


It's amazing to have someone say something to you that is so simple but that really hits home. All I needed to hear was this, I don't need flowers or candy, I just need simple words that come from the heart. So, to my friend who took the time to tell me a simple truth, Thank you, you are an amazing person, who cares so much for others and always knows what to say to cheer me up!
