I am donating this quilt to the Anne Carlson School in Jamestown North Dakota. The Anne Carlsen Center offers a rich tradition of educational, residential, therapeutic, evaluation, and community-based services. Their individualized services include care for individuals — and families — of all ages with cerebral palsy; orthopedic, vision and hearing disabilities; autism, pervasive, and other behavior disorders; and other medical acuities. My daughter-in-law is a therapist at the center. This is going to be in a silent auction at their annual golf tournament. My son always plays in that tournament. Quilting is my way of giving back to the world to make it easier for those less fortunate.
But as I go about my day I see others that are volunteering their time to help. Schools, the hospital, churches and many other places. If you just read the front page of the newspaper one gets a very negative view of life. But look around you and you will see many wondrous people and events that give you a more positive outlook on the world.
