I am wondering- when you are poor like I am-is it easier to get angry at others? I'm not so sure of that. But I am angry and sad at the moment. Had a row with my son and now he won't speak to me. We have been struggling all month with Vet bills,dentist bills, his phone bill and insurance. He didn't realize that he was eligible for benefits and therefore I have been donating to his livelihood. That's okay with me but I do think he should get the help he is entitled to and I told him so in a not too kind fashion.I find myself aggrivated and easy to flare up. I have even been angry in the Forums.
I think being poor is so hard on you that it takes away any surplus you have.
Buy then today... This man knocked on my door and told me that his charity would deliver a Christmas hamper to us- I don't know whether I will see my son this Christmas- but it is meant for both of us. The council knew we were struggling and as they couldn't help they gave my name to Rotary- a gathering of funny secret men I think and they also do charity work.
This really made me happy and put me in a considerably better mood. They will deliver it Friday afternoon. I told him I was terribly thankful and that they were very,very kind. I am quite over the moon at the generosity. Somehow I can't imagine other people being rich enough to donate to a charity- enough so many of us get help at this time of the year. It's wonderful!
The festive season.
