Giving Tuesday

Today was Giving Tuesday. I only learned of it yesterday.

Here is their mission statement:

Mission Statement

#GivingTuesday™ is a campaign to create a national day of giving at the start of the annual holiday season. It celebrates and encourages charitable activities that support nonprofit organizations.

Though Fix The Toaster is not a charity I tweeted that I hoped people could give their heart today and drive as carefully as possible.

Self restraint and not thinking that world is "filled with assholes who don't know how to drive" is something we seem to be a hard time giving a second thought to.

Hopefully someone out there thought about it for a second and possibly it changed one of the hundreds of potentially life threatening choices we make daily in our cars.

But what a great free thing to give.
