Every Little Bit Counts

 I'll be honest, my memory isn't what it use to be. I feel like there must have been other years with too many disasters both natural and man-made. But 2025 has so far proven to be a year filled with woe. Many people are in desperate need of aid, and thus our money, while our personal budgets are becoming more tightly stretched. Still, our journal of the inconsequential can help. As you are all well aware, I love a list. Let's take a few moments to make one of the small bits and pieces around our home that might garner some funds to donate to those in need. Every little bit counts. Your couch cushion change will combine with others to form a significant monetary value. Don't give up because you only found a few cents. Put it in a jar at the register or a fireman's boot. Not only will it help someone going through a terrible time but it may make you feel a bit better too. 

Here are a few ideas to get you started

1 - Return your bottles and cans

2- Check for change in the car, couch, laundry pile...

3- Sell some old Legos

4- Consign a couple pieces of clothing or a handbag you never use

5- Sell some wine corks or bottle caps to crafters on-line

Keep going!! We can make the world better in small yet meaningful ways.
