I forced myself to get cloths on and get out of the house. I went to the nearest dollar store and bought a whole bunch of food treats, new teeshirts and socks, toothbrushes and tiny travel size toothpaste, soaps and shampoos and bunch of washcloths. I seperated it in individual 1 gallon size ziplock gift baggies and went downtown and found a whole bunch of people who are living on the streets or in shelters and passed them out. I know my brother would have loved to do it with me and it made me feel better to make someone else's day a little better. I think I will keep several gift bags in my car from now on incase I see someone in need.
