Most people are either done shopping or scrambling to get the chore finished. Since Christmas is a time for giving… won’t you please consider donating to the Marine’s Toys For Tots program?

You can also consider becoming a partner — just click the banner to your right ==>> and learn how simple it is, or just go and donate… any amount is graciously accepted.

You also will feel SO good because you will put a smile on a needy child’s face who otherwise would go without a single gift. Not something I want on my conscience…. so I’m heading over to InternetToyDrive.org right now and make sure that at least two needy, deserving children get a Christmas gift this year!

Won’t YOU do the same? I know it will “make your day” to give from your heart!

Joyous Holidays To You & Yours,

Donna Maher RN

I have been so super-busy getting my house ready to go on the market that I’ve totally ignored this blog… I do apologize profusely. On the bright side, though, I’ve gotten through over fifty years of belongings and thinned them out drastically.

Still have more thinning and giving away to do (it sure makes the recipients happy to get all the cool stuff that won’t fit in my car) but at least the house is ready to start showing now.

Why am I doing this?

Upon reaching the age of being able to live on social security (as if that’s possible in the USA) I came to the realization that I don’t have the means at this point in time to keep my home and pay my debt-mountain down with what’s coming in vs. what’s going out.

Thankfully, there are alternatives and I’m going to take one of them up… such as make a major move out of the country and live close to a couple of dear friends in what they refer to as “paradise”.

I can’t wait to tell you more – right now I’m still pinching myself to see if it’s for real… :-))

Have a wonderful spring… it’s my favorite season – is it yours?

Donna
