Putting life in perspective... what's really important?

I'm obsessive compulsive. Yes, I admit it. Not severely enough to need psychological help, but enough that it probably is the root of my migraines, but that's a topic for another day. There are benefits to being OCD. I'm very organized, my house is usually clean, and I'm usually the first person to respond to teacher's requests in my kids take home folders. But there are days like today where it can be an obstacle. When I have a plan for the day, I don't adapt well to change. I had plans for today, BIG plans. I was going to catch up on my piles of laundry, clean up the kid's playroom which has been in disarray for a week, get in a hardy workout (New Year's Resolution), go to the grocery store and make a few meals to freeze and keep for later. But last night I received an email from Child & Family Services Stanley G. Falk School looking for help for one of their students. It's an urgent request, a young girl who has been coming to school without a coat and in need of some other cold weather items like sweaters and pants, hats and mittens. I was just downtown yesterday making my deliveries and I usually make all deliveries once a week, but occasionally there's a situation like this one that requires immediate attention. So do I let my OCD control me and keep my very important plans intact or do I let life interrupt me to put someone else's needs first? I guess my laundry will still be there tomorrow and my kid's playroom can be messy for one more day, and the grocery store can wait, and my New Year's Resolution can start tomorrow and my family can eat boxed macaroni and cheese for dinner. I can change someones life today, give them warmth with a new coat and hope that they're going to be okay and let them know someone cares. Yes, I think my needs can wait until tomorrow.
