Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life
My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.

I seem to have done a better, financially, than a lot of the folks I hang out with. Whenever I attend a potluck-type event, I have a tendency to bring more than might be expected. Similarly, when I host a party, I try to make sure that there is plenty of food, enough so that I can send extras home with others. This is, I think, in large part, an attempt to share the wealth, if you will. My attempt at sharing what I have with those close to me who might not have as much.
Is there really a need for this? Do I really need to feel guilty? As one person said to me, "I might envy you but I'm certainly not resentful." Still, I feel uncomfortable, sometimes, talking about our plans for our house with people I know don't own a home. And yet, is there really a problem with it? And do I need to be overly generous to "share the wealth", as it were? Or, should I just not worry about it?

| Don't worry |
If you were not a nice person, or if you were obviously trying to show off or one up other people, then you would quickly find yourself without many of the friends you have. That you happen to have more is nothing to feel guilty about among friends. As for the rest don't worry about them. Don't let our Judeo-Christian roots get you down. |

Maybe you're a generous person and it has nothing to do with haves and havenots. Don't know about you but I have enough to feel guilty about with looking for anything else. Besides, if I waited until I was 100% sure of the purity of my motives, I'd never do anything. |
