Sheeesh..... I'm tired. I have been weathered... and now I am a victim of "survivor guilt"... YES I AM ALIVE AND MY HOME IIS FINE. I am still quite torn up by what is happening around us and wish I were rich. But... I... am not. So I will check out what I can do on the community "How to Help" board at our local newspaper. I suppose I am really ticked at the moment because someone told me to just give money... that was the best thing to do. To me it is sort of like saying "Be ye warmed and filler" and then walking off without doing anything. Money must be processed and I am sorry but too many people must be paid to process it. I remember what it was like to not have any money at all, no food in my cupboards, and bills all over the place. By the time any agency processed my vitals to allot money or food stamps, I would have starved to death. BUT churches and organizations stepped in and I was "warmed and filled". People I barely knew talked to me and encouraged me. People just need people... I still wish I was rich... and had a big truck. I am also thankful... that I was not in an area hit by Charlie. These people are not only without money... food... shelter... there is no electric or food or water or stores around them. Say a little prayer for these people. They are in a tough spot. Send them help ASAP if you can. They are suffering. I am going to the board tomorrow and volunteer again. Take care...
