Every year at work we do something called "Operation Holiday Spirit" and collect toys, food and clothing for two different agencies. Yesterday happened to be the day we did our collection, and it was quite the tiring day. Today I happened to receive one of the agency's newsletters, and here is what one of the children in a receiving home said when asked what they were thankful for.....

"The first thankfull thing that pops in my mind is if you have somthing that you don't want adles (at least) you got something."

Out of the mouth of babes, huh? So every year at the end of the day I think, oh gosh, can I do this toy drive again next year? Guess I got my answer didn't I! :-) You betcha!

Hey Carol,

Let me know when your next one is and I'll send something over from whichever part of the world I'm in :-)
