I'm feeling very ...spirited today. It's lightly snowing outside, just enough to be pretty instead of annoying. (Dusting my car off after work is one thing and digging it out is another!) Jewel is serenading me in the background (it's currently "Ave Maria"). I'm in the middle of our first and only lull of the day (today is the first day of our Children's Christmas Special). Ahhh, for a few minutes, life is quiet and good.
It is the time of year to count our blessings and to share them with those who are less fortunate. The need is great, and our response to it should be equally great. I know that a lot of charities will be asking for help this time of year, and that the extra money we have will only go so far. So, in the spirit of giving (for those of us on a tight budget!) I'd like to encourage everyone to join a campaign that is looking for voices, not money. It is the ONE campaign (http://www.one.org/). There you can "sign" the ONE big noise letter, encouraging President Bush to fight for AIDS relief and fair trade agreements at the upcoming G8 Summit in Hong Kong. This campaign is cross-political- it's really about helping people, not furthering any agenda. Please visit their website to learn more.
