Thank you for your challenge to me to embrace the sacrifice and let it hurt a little.
I have watched to unfolding of support for Ukraine, and then heard the complaints about gas prices, and never has anyone asked us to sacrifice for those who do not even have cars, or heat, or running water or electricity anymore. I filled up the tires on my bike (although it is snowing here today!!) and am ready to ride to work. Small contribution, yet in the moment, it will be a regular reminder of how blessed I am.
Thank you.
