Giving Back

      Another week of insomnia. I am getting used to them along 

with my blurry vision which is a side affect of some of my meds.

I have found I come up with most of my blogs in the wee hours.

      The other day I drove through McDonalds which is rare for me.

As I went to pay I saw the change receptacle for the Ronald McDonald

House. I tossed some coins in, but as I drove off I remembered my

visit there this winter. My niece set up a visit with her Sparkle My

Head Scarves line. I started to remember the stories of some parents

who were staying there from out of state. I remembered my sister

in law bringing me some goodies when my son was in the hospital.

I remember all the little things that meant so much to me when I

was in the hospital. 

        I always like the quote (paraphrasing) “ Of those that much is 

given, much is expected.” I have been blessed many times but I was 

given a second chance at life twice. First when I was diagnosed with

a rare form of ALL and then again with a rare leukemia. 

       I decided to put together little treat bags for the parents at

the Ronald McDonald house in my area. It didn’t cost a lot and I 

credit myself with being a good shopper. HA! HA! I am donating the

bags on behalf of Sparkle My Head Scarves, my small way of paying

it forward. 

       I can only hope that the parents who are having to watch their child

go through cancer treatments will find some tiny little ray of sunshine in

the bags. Sometimes just something little can make you feel like you 

are not alone. I encourage you all to do a kindness too, there is enough 

disappointment and heartache in this world. Lets try to keep the 

goodness in the light.

Be well  be blessed.
