I am actually having a pretty decent day today!  I donated all of Zachary's clothing to the Salvation Army's Booth House....but not his coat.  I can still smell him on it, and I decided to keep it for awhile so I just donated the additional money to them to buy a coat.  So I know that I helped some people that really need the help...and Zach would like that.  Funny thing about that coat.  We got it for Zach for Christmas last year.  It was a Walmart knock-off of a Carhartt.  He NEVER took care of coats and lost them ALL THE TIME!!!  Would leave them in people's cars....whatever.  He left this coat at a bar one night and went nutso about losing it.  He actually liked this coat, and so my husband and I drove over to the bar the next morning and it was still there.  He was so happy.  He never left it anywhere else.  It is kind of hard cause you see a lot of young men wearing those kinds of coats....it kind of takes my breath away. 

Anyhow, I am glad to be having a decent day.  Had a nice Christmas breakfast with the teachers at the preschool here at the church and have gotten a gazzillion Christmas cards and goodies from people here.  It is amazing how loving these folks are.  God had to have been instrumental in me finding my place here.....Thank you Lord.  And thanks for the good mood.
