I have felt very strong about volunteering this week. My little sabbatical to Idaho and Wyoming made me take for granted all of the things my family and I have. Coming back to New Mexico and seeing so many more of those who don't have a place to live has pushed me to want to help. I live close to a soup kitchen, and have found that volunteering there is a simple and easy way to help. Its helped me learn to accept those who may be pungent at times, but have kind hearts, and are in need of a good meal. It also showed me that giving a very small amount of kindness and time to others takes my thoughts away from myself, and that has given me more happiness than I would have ever thought.
Just thought I would share.
I love you Megan! What a great girl you are!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea. Pungent made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteVery good idea! I agree, I totally wish all of us could get together again sometime! It has been way to long and I'm always up for a girls weekend if we could figure something out!
ReplyDeletePungent, ha! :) Good for you, I bet it feels good to do that.
