Musings

I plan on baking cookies that I send to strangers, and they donate them to shelters. I've met these strangers through an internet forum that I've posted to for over 2 years. The people who donate the cookies can read what type of person I am before they give me their shipping details.

Anyway, I planned on making cookies this weekend, and there was a question on whether it would happen. I stayed with my twin who lives 40 minutes away because her husband is on a Navy duty thing this weekend, and she likes to have another adult with her to be around if she needs to leave, and come on, it's my twin - we love to hang out. Anyway, if I didn't get back home in time I wasn't going to bake as I planned, and then I wouldn't be able to send the cookies as I planned. I was worrying about this for a while until I took a step back and realized the importance in the big picture. Hanging out with my twin always makes me happy, and I shouldn't take the time with her family for granted. Although I would like to do this baking-giving, I realized that it was more important for my spirit, I guess is the word for it, to hang around the unconditional love when I can, even if it means delaying the baking for a day or so. Anyhoo, I didn't have to delay it as I just finished, and I plan on sending them tomorrow as planned. So, win-win for all :)
