This is something I need to work on this year. I've always been a person that wants to do as much as possible, but sometimes it is okay to just be. Today, however, was not one of those days!
This morning we went to our local Habitat ReStore. I did a lot of volunteer trips with Habitat and loved it! Some of my best friends were made through these trips and I am so thankful for that. Although I don't always get the time, or take the time, to volunteer (yet another thing to work on!), anymore, we like to support the mission as much as possible. So off we went on an adventure to see what we could find! My husband was looking for some shelving or storage for the basement. We found two upper cabinets for $25, so a total of $50. Pictures will follow when we get them installed.
My husband said he could make the cabinets and I knew that was a road I didn't want to go down. We haven't even finished project #1! And by the time he was done, I am sure it would be close to the cost of these cabinets and we could take them home today AND help a wonderful organization. Win-win, in my book. And I get my husband's handyman help with my projects, instead. To find a store near you, visit Habitat ReStores.
After that adventure, I went to my mom's to help clean. She has MS and is also recovering from breast cancer surgery and treatment, so she appreciates any help she can get. It was nice to get to spend some time with her. Our little family then went to run errands and ended up not eating until 7! We even gave our daughter lunch meat that we had not purchased yet in the grocery store...I felt a little like I was stealing! But we obviously paid for it. No harm done.
I am hoping to continue my post from yesterday sometime soon. If you missed it, please visit B's story 1
Oh, and project #1 is thisclose to being done! Hoping to share it with you early this week. I can't wait!!!
Have you ever volunteered for Habitat?
What hidden gem would you look for today?
