As the holidays approach, and I was perusing the Troop auctions I had a few thoughts.
With my business I may not have a few hundred extra to bid on some of the auctions for some of the things I may want with the expenses I already know are coming up. That's the way it is with being self employed. Some of the auctions don't appeal to me, but I am sure they appeal to others. I still wanted to make a difference. Since the auctions really aren't about
getting something and rather about
giving, I decided to do my part and put a couple small things up.
Cigar/man cave/sports/whatever related, I think we can all find something that we can give up for an auction to benefit the troops.
I did. It feels good. I think it kicked this cranky Scrooge into a better mood for the next couple months.
It might be a little self serving, but I think it may have made me feel better than I might have bidding on one of the small lots.
Try it yourself and see!
