Goodwill

Of course at this time of year a majority of us are looking at our Christmas list and out shopping for those family and friends. This weekend Robert and I are going to a Christmas party and we need to take a "White Elephant" Christmas gift. I screached the house for something memoriable, all I could find was expired contraception sticks, and decided to pass on that.

So, I was headed out to Goodwill to find a once-garage sale- item. Something special, something that said "what the heck is that?" or "who would have ever bought this in the first place?"

The first Goodwill had a couple of items that I might just have to go back for if I can't find anything else.

However the second Goodwill I went to was a different story. The store was very sparse. As I looked around at the items, I noticed the shoppers. While I was coming to the store for a gag gift of sorts. There were people in the store shopping for items for their families or Christmas gifts. And then I became sad. I had to leave, I couldn't really look at the stuff.

It made me realize how fortunate I am. I live a very well life, my child will live very well. And when I think that I don't have all that I want. I must realize that while I will always have wants or desires in my life, I will probably be able to have some of those things. There are those individuals that will always have wants and desires and never have them filled.
