Somethings that made me feel good...

Volunteering: Husband and I volunteered for a local shelter to serve Thanksgiving dinner. We really had a great time, despite my trying to pimp out my cranberries, sweet potato casserole and candied yams. No dice for the most part, which was a little disheartening. But Mr. Catman was popular with his stuffing (dressing) and green bean casserole.

Sharing information: Was chatting it up with some colleagues about random things about Chicago, since they weren't from here. And lo and behold, I shared some very useful information about a couple of Michigan Avenue stores: Bloomingdale's and Sephora. See, I guess non-locals are not aware that any makeup counters in this area will do a free makeover. And one of these colleagues was interested in trying new makeup, to help cover a large birthmark on her face, about which she was understandably self-conscience. So I passed along that she could just stop by a makeup counter and try the makeup before purchasing. It's not much, but I'm hoping it made a positive difference in her life. And helping do that made me feel good.
