Thumbs up for Companies doing good.

      Fred Meyer reports that every year more than 80 billion pounds of food go to waste in the US. Fred Meyer has a zero waste program, where they help reduce food waste by feedin the hungry and helping farmers. Annually Freddy's donates 200 million meals to local food banks. Another portion goes to farmers to feed livestock and to compost. Fred Meyer in their magazine invites us the homeowners to join by reducing food waste at our own homes. Check out FredMeyer.com for simple tips for preventing food waste.
     Kroger has a long history of hiring folks from the special needs community granting them dignity and a place to use the skills they do have. We were in QFC the other day and noted that they have begun to hire folks with physical limitations. Both employees we noted had walking challenges one was in a wheel chair, yet he was doing his best with the company broom.
      I know there are more companies out there doing good. City team is in Portland helping homeless folks feel and look good. Way to go City team.

I need help

      No one can do life alone and it is a scary place to be feeling like life is being done alone. I don't like to do life alone and I am uncertain as to where I fit in the scheme of things. There is no cure for stupid that is for sure. What a beautiful gift-too beautiful for my heart to behold and things moved so fast and I moved so slow. It had been so long since I'd played. One better doesn't work for the person who has the alcoholic like tendencies.
     One can lead a horse to water but it cannot make it drink. But can one still lead the horse? Didn't Jesus say the shepherd had 99 sheep and one lost. The shepherd looked for that sheep until he found it. I can identify with the lost sheep cause I have come to realize that I was/am completely lost.

Conversation in the car
Junior, "Mom, do I have a step mom?"
Mom, "No, you have a birthmom."
Junior, "Oh good cause step mom are not good"
Little lady, "What are you called then the adoptive mom?"
Mom, "Yes, that is what I am called"
Junior, "No, you're called the awesome mom!"

Makes me want to kiss him all over his face, but he'd yell Mommmmmmmmm! So, I tuck that in my heart. I love that boy like a rabbit loves to run!
