I had an interesting opportunity last night to help a neighbor with some charity work she does for several orphanages. She was looking for some help compiling info she had collected on donators, and I have the skills to advance her project. What a pleasure to GIVE my talent last night! I am going to help out a couple hours a week. I really enjoyed it! I learned a lot about the charity, and I feel so fortunate to be in MY LIFE.....these kids have NOTHING. It was an eye opener. Nice to focus on something that is positive for a lot of people, esp. kids!!!! Even SO chipped in some time and technical skills.....a lovely evening!!!!! Awesome!.......................what does this have to do with the debt???????? PERSPECTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My SO and I were witness to a shoplifter being caught when we went to the mall for the birthday party yesterday...........
YES, I OVERSPENT on the birthday, but at least I overspent in CASH. I guess this will sound petty, but everyone was ordering expensive items, and the party stuff wasn't cheap at the restuarant.....and some of the guests (grandparents) didn't want to pay because they didn't like the party set up.......so SO and I paid way too much for our portion on the bill......and in the end, it wasn't that great, but at least everyone walked out happy that our now 4 year old nephew was happy............That's the last time I spend $100 on a kid's birthday!!!!!!!!
Work was interesting today.......I hate working with snooty peole, however........and the people I work with do not know just how good i am because I feel like I am squished everyday into a box I can't get out of.........................no one can see what I can do. I feel like I can't expand myself in this company........I want to make more money and do more interesting things!
Looking forward to putting my tax refund on my debt load.............hardly a dent, but a dent nonetheless........maybe a scratch...........I'll take it!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a great Monday evening! I think giving has everything in the world to do with debt. It's only when we begin to give of ourselves that we can begin to see how blessed we truly are. And I find that it improves the flow of blessings into my own life.
Sorry about your work situation. Dh feels the same way in his. Wish I had advice. But all I have is sympathy.
Have fun working with your charity!
Blessings,
