I decided to work from home today, so I can’t change the sign behind my desk that reads “right now I feel” and allows me to fill in the blank. But it should read “tired and cranky.” They say never blog angry (do they? probably). But here goes nothing.
I’m rarely both tired and cranky, so I don’t know what to do with myself. I decided to do something that often makes me feel better: give back.
I’ve talked about it before many times, but I generally give about 10% of my salary to worthy causes. I do about 5% or so regularly to the same place. The other money goes throughout the year, mainly to friends or family who are doing some sort of race for some sort of charity. I’ll also give a few bucks here or there throughout the year for no particular reason or when I’m cranky (it makes me feel better usually). This is one of those times.
So $50 is going to a charity. I’m not sure which one yet, but I have a few in mind. I won’t post them here for a number of reasons. I don’t want to make it seem like I prefer one over the others because I chose that one over the other “finalists” (yes, I know I’m over thinking it). I also don’t have the complete list of finalists. I’m going to take a few minutes to figure it out.
But I’ll let you know who gets it when I’m done and if it made me feel better.
What do you do when you’re tired and cranky and have commitments that make it so you can’t rest or do something for yourself?
Until next time, put your credit card down and slowly step away from the mall!
