Day 311: Big black coat to St. Vincent De Paul

I dropped off a used (but very comfortable) coat at a local Goldstar restaurant today.  I learned about the coat drive through an email from St. Vincent De Paul; it's sponsored by that organization, as well as channel 5, Goldstar, and some other local businesses and groups.  It was actually a little troubling for me to part with this coat--I had the same problem donating coats last winter. I know that this big black coat was too big and really too ugly for me to wear on a regular basis, but it was SO comfortable and warm, and perfect for shoveling snow.  I'm actually having a bit of giver's remorse here.  I'm sure I have other coats for shoveling,a nd I know I could always purchase anotehr comfy coat.  Someone else prbably needs the warmth and comfort more.  Right?
