to funny to read this, i just hung up from and hour chat with my sister in law and i told her, life is good and sometimes i feel guilty because i don't do anything for anyone but me.. great advice you have here and glad you can help them out and you are right, volunteer work does help the volunteer to
It's good to get out and be helpful. Once I retire from driving school bus,I think I would like to help in the church if they had something for me to do.
I too volunteer - with a telephone crisis line and providing peer support for others with the dread disease. And, like you, it helps me more than I help others. I have been volunteering for fifteen years now and it is a HUGE and valuable part of my life.
Hi Kim! I truely believe in volunteering. I'm too busy right now but when I retire and have the time to share that is what I want to do! One of our writers from our writers group has found some interesting ways to volunteer. There are so many different ways to get out there and help others! Great post!
Volunteering is a great way to get out of the house, and be in contact with people. I volunteer at at my FIL's retirement residence.
