"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
---Ralph Waldo Emerson
Having dropped off apples at a homeless shelter in Rockville last weekend, I'm now feeling comfortable just stopping by there impromptu with some food. It always seems appreciated by the staff and other people there, and by my family as well, since I tend to make extra for us. I may even improve my cooking by the end of this endeavor (much improvement is needed!).
It's funny that before starting this it didn't occur to me to make extra or to cook/bake specially on any given weekend in order to donate food to a homeless shelter, unless I was doing it as part of a group project. But I think now that concept is etched in my brain, and hopefully I'll continue it after this journey is done.
Having said that, it doesn't take much -- a plate of pasta, a casserole, or as I did this weekend, just a couple of batches of brownies (confession: made from a mix).
