So, I mentioned a few posts ago that I want to be a better person this year.
I used to volunteer all the time. I was quite a proud member of Big Brothers, Big Sisters and Stand Up For Kids (in Denver, so I couldn't participate in that one as often as I wanted. But it is a FANTASTIC organization. I may not like children, but homeless kids break my fucking heart. You have no idea how many of them there are, and how many of them are utterly alone. If there's a Stand Up For Kids organization in your area, give some of your time. Even if it's just one day of walking with the members. It'll change your life, I fucking swear it). I loved volunteering SO much. Then I got exceptionally complacent, and I stopped.
I signed up for a volunteering opportunity at Pikes Peak Hospice. I'm nervous about it, but I can't think of a better way to spend any of the free time I'll have. I won't have much of it, but I want to do good things with the time I do have. Here's to hoping I get the chance to do so. I should know in a couple of days.
To leave my day of posts on an awesome note:
3, 13, 17, 21, and 28 are my favorites.
