Day 19 Labeling ducks at a hospice organization

"The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it."
---Mother Teresa

Today I did something that might sound strange - labeled rubber ducks with a stickers that had numbers on them. The purpose for doing this is an upcoming fundraiser sponsored by Montgomery Hospice Foundation. The annual "Derby Duck Race and Festival" is one of their largest fundraisers of the year." Winners of the duck race get donated prizes, such as restaurant gift cards.

So this was one of those activities where my little part seemed inconsequential but actually contributed to a much larger goal, i.e. raising funds for a very worthy organization. And the fun part was getting to talk to the other people helping out - everyone was really nice and so appreciative. And what's not to like about being surrounded by rubber ducks? It reminded me of bath time when the kids were little!
