ratbastid and I try to do something for less fortunate people on a regular basis (we donate to the food bank, have "adopted" a Filipino girl, and give money to the Afghan Women's Fund), and a little extra at Christmas. I feel a little overwhelmed, though, by the massive need. We have so much, and others have so little, and I don't even know where to start at the holidays. Today I drove around with a box of Clementine oranges and handed them out to the homeless guys on the freeway exits and the intersections around town. It was just a little gesture, and I hope they enjoyed them. I know I could do more, especially if I just got off my butt and did something instead of feeling like I had to wait till I had some grand gesture all figured out. Can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, I guess.
