HELPING TO REBUILD DR. SHAWKI’S CARDIAC CLINIC IS THE BEST THING ON EARTH FOR ME

Today, is a hard day for me. I don’t know why but it is one of those days where things seem overwhelming. Not that I have too much to do. It is more a question of what to do. Which way do I go? What do I do first?

What I’m finding is that having one simple thing to focus on—trying to help someone else—is the best way to deal with my overly active and scattered mind. Trying to raise money for Doctor Shawki takes me out of myself. It makes my problems seem small. The Doctor’s clinic has been totally destroyed. Totally. So it needs building from the ground up. He has no money for this and it‘s up to me.

So here I’ve stated a problem, a challenge, which is so simple. So easy to understand. I start at square one. I take the first step.

And this helps me. There are temptations to do things that are not good, not healthy, not helping anyone. Here is a direction being pointed out to go in. It feels like sailing. Set the sails and let the wind take me there.
