1. It hurts

especially when you want to help and can't. I set a budget every month and end up exceeding it almost every month. The last Wishadoo post came just after I already exceeded my "teaspoons" budget, and it really broke my heart. Unfortunately, I have been so concerned with trying to do as much as I could monetarily, that I forgot the hugs and words of support. Very needed words of encouragement.

But also the idea of just a little bit. If everybody just tried a little bit. Stretched just a little bit. Gave just a little bit.
Sometimes you have to look at what you don't want to see. Sometimes that might be all you have to give. Being seen and acknowledged can mean the world to someone- even if you can't help them with the rent.
