Bright and Beautiful

This made me laugh out loud!  

If I'm going to over think something...it might as well be joy.

Paul and I don't go out at night much...but last evening we attended a delightful concert at his church in Scarborough featuring a local folk/bluegrass band called Darlin' Corey. 

And we were early enough to take in the sunset at Pine Point Beach before the concert.

Sometimes joy looks like the bright and beautiful colors of a seaside sunset.

And today joy looked like the bright and beautiful new space for Maine Needs. It's huge....and it's impressive. 

This whole middle section is for clothes and all of the shelving and racks were donated from L.L. Bean from their recent remodel. 

And there's another section for homegoods.

And even more spaces and places for so many other things. 

I worked alongside Amanda...and our first task was to finish unpacking children's books.

This is one of the first things people will see when they come in to pick up their bags. They will be encouraged to shop for books for kids they know who might enjoy them.

The Amanda and I unpacked and organized children's coats.  

Then moved onto pajamas and other kids clothes. 

The space is bright and beautiful...and going to be so much more user friendly place to volunteer. Today the space was buzzing with excitement and anticipation of things to come.
