I want to do so much more. I know I can't do more until I go to bed and wake up and face each coming day and keep working towards my goals, but...it's so hard to sleep when all you want to do is change the world. Or at least help out a few lives as best as you can.
We have a name from the Sharing Tree at the LFP Town Centre. Oscar, age 81. That's all the information they gave us. That and a list of things about what an 81 year old might find useful. I just want to know so much more about him. I want to get to know him and visit him every week and know what kinds of books he enjoys before I give him a book for Christmas. Or which store is most convenient or his favorite to go grocery shopping at before I give him a gift card to some random place. Or if he knows how to surf the net to see if an Amazon.com gift card would be neat for him. Or what size he wears if he could use a coat or sweats or shoes. Or if he'd just like someone to talk to or give him a hug once in awhile. I don't know how to just blindly give a gift to someone. And I want to help so much more than just a few unwrapped gifts passed through a third party.
I have so much that I want to give to the world. I just feel a little hopeless when I don't have the money to.
