Give to Goodwill!

[Q.]

Remember that cleaning out your closets at least once a year and giving your former treasures to Goodwill (or charity of your choice) is a great way to give back to your community and help those who are less fortunate.

Many people only think of doing this when the weather gets cold and pass along the sweaters and coats they haven't worn for a while. But there's a tremendous need for summer weather attire as well. So look through your closets and see if you don't have something that doesn't fit or might be a little out of fashion. Those things will probably fit someone else and could be the height of fashion for them. Plus...it's tax deductible!

With that in mind, I send along this heartwarming photo to inspire you and remind you that your efforts won't go unnoticed.

Scarred for life. That's what I am. Gonna be hard to shake that one off.

Good message despite the photo. I clean out my closet with every weight change and give to Good Will.

I'll be taking the (worthwhile) remnants of a neighborhood yard sale to the Goodwill folks this weekend.

Now, about that picture.........

Note to self: Bring "package" to Goodwill.

[Q.]

I think the image is a person in Austin, just up the road. I've seen him before but can't remember his name. He's a local celebrity. I'll ask my daughter (at UT) to confirm... out of curiousity.

The necklace goes nicely with the color of the 'suit'.
