Weighing this volunteer work

Today we are handing out Easter baskets at the Family Room. I’ve got the impression that one of the ladies doesn’t like me. I’m not sure why other than the fact I’d rather be busy than sitting talking about someone. I kind of made that evident. Sometimes I guess I’m not very diplomatic.

I bought a bunch of kids book at a second hand store. I’m taking them up with me today. I also bought a bunch of stuffed animals on Ebay…as soon as they coming in, I’ll take them up there too. Giving just gives me such a good feeling. I guess I don’t care if any of the women like me anyway. I’m there to put smiles on the little kids faces and give support to those young moms. I just need to focus on why I’m there…then everything else will be secondary.

I’ve been doing real good the last two days on water drinking. I don’t know why I’m such a hard time with that. I bought lemons and limes and keep forgetting to add them to my water.

I’ve got my hair fixed, makeup on..and ready to go. Although I haven’t lost any weight recently, I feel good about myself today. I’m think, if I could feel like this everyday, I’d be able to accomplish this weight loss. I know I get so discouraged sometimes…I think..just forget it.

New day…good outlook…sun shining….with a skip in my walk…off I go to see some bright little faces.

    Good luck with your volunteer work :-) Some pick on people because they are living default lives.

    Good on you Chris. With your great attitude the kids will pick up that you are so genuine and you will definitely put a smile on their faces.

    I hope you have a very happy and safe Easter. :D

    Aww! I love volunteer work - I did a lot while I was at college, and I might be signing up with our local volunteer office now that I’m back home.

    I used to do a lot of work at the homeless shelter near college - it was tough but rewarding. Just keep your eye on the mission ;)
