ok, so here's my two cents... i'm from the northern ky/cincinnati area and a few weeks ago, our area was hit by a series of storms and tornados that resulted in many homes and lives being lost, along with countless others being effected. i work for a great company, that has allowed me to basically take over and create a committee to organize and carry out various fundraising activities to raise money for relief. i don't have hundreds, or thousands, or millions to donate. but i give what i can... and i can use my voice to move others to do the same. after working on this stuff for the last couple weeks, we're gettng ready to wrap things up. and i would have expected to feel some sort of resolve... some kind of accomplishment... that i'd made a difference. but anyone who has ever worked on this kind of stuff knows that there will always be people who have nothing better to do with their time but complain... people who always have something to say about how they could have done it better, or want to tell you what you should have done... even though they weren't around when you were asking for volunteers or ideas. they are the kind of people who make you wonder why you ever volunteered yourself, and make you want to swear you will never do it again. so, by the end of the day today, i was feeling pretty beat up. i was questioning if i was doing the right things and making the right decisions... if i was making a difference at all... and furthermore, could i justify my decisions and the decisions of my committee to the whole company....
so i come home and i'm sitting here, pissed off... screwing around online... and i see an update from the KRC that they're updating the website, and i redirect to the website to see what i can see... and the first thing that happens is the song "care" starts playing... and instantly everything made sense... i can't make everyone happy... i will never make all the right decisions... but i know i made the best decisions that i could, and i can stand up and look anybody in the eye and say i did what i did with my heart in the right place because i CARE!! and that's the bottom line!
so, after a not-so-long-story-short... i just wanted to say "thank you" for giving this girl's restless mind some peace tonight :)
