Day 264, October 1

As I re-read yesterday's posting, I realized that the quote could be taken in another way.  Let's break it down into its components.

 "Do what you can."  I sometimes decry the fact that I can't seem to do very much for others.  But that doesn't excuse me from doing something--what I can.

"With what you have."  What do I have?  Two strong (sort of) hands.  A good (most of the time) mind.  A willing (sometimes) heart.  That's plenty to do the above something.

"Where I am."  I am no longer a young, busy mother.  I have time and opportunity to serve in many ways, if I choose to.  That's the key:  if I choose to.

Joy for today:  Doing what I can, with what I have, where I'm at.
