If you can, get outside and go for a walk. I try to walk a mile every evening and it really does make a difference in helping me sleep. Not saying you'll pass out for 8 solid hours (that's NEVER happened to me lol), but it does help.
You should dig a hole in your living room. Year-round pool!
I give panhandlers food or water, and will talk to them for a few minutes if I can, to give them some humanity and company. Many of them are frauds, it's true. Many others are addicts, which is why I never give cash. If anyone gives me the "my car broke down" story, I don't give them anything. I also rebuke men who approach me as a woman who is alone; a man with honor would approach other men or people in groups, not solitary women.I was in the parking lot & a beggar asked for money. I've always been taught not to, that people have places to go for resources, but I gave him some anyways, it was only $30 & I told him I've been richly blessed. If he uses it for bad habits, maybe someday it'll hit him. Don't I have bad habits myself b/c what God has given me intended for good, & I am trying to fight them!
I regret not having encouraged him in some way. I just was wanting it to be done, not have it be a small fortune, & not take up any more time than giving.
You do it right. I’m still learning how to do it, learning how to want to do it.. In the past I wouldn’t do anything.I give panhandlers food or water, and will talk to them for a few minutes if I can, to give them some humanity and company. Many of them are frauds, it's true.

Don't be too hard on yourself

God's got it all in handI have an interview tomorrow. What employer would hire someone who's not only unavailable Saturdays but will also need a couple of days off in a few weeks for YK?
That's why I offer non-cash items. If they're TRULY homeless and penniless, they need food, water, clothes, shelter. Not cash. Some people do choose to live homeless; that's their right.
