Meals on wheels

well today I signed up to be a volunteer for Meals on wheels. It's a non-profit organization that delivers food trays daily to people around the community. Most of them are elderly, but there are some who are bed-ridden, without transportation, or just to ill to get around. I had volunteered before during my internship in school and I just loved it. The people were so friendly and happy to see you. Most of them are always smiling! perhaps it was the only type of communication or socialization they had with other people, and I know how important it is to be verbal. Most of us always want to be seen and heard, but when you think about it, do we really listen to one another?? I always try. When I signed up, I thought "do I really have time?" I kept pondering my thoughts away, and enventually came up to the conclusion that I will "make the time." I mean, there is still only 24 hours in the day, nothing is going to change. So i thought "why not"? I mean we use our day for all kinds of things: work, play, sleep, (who has time to sleep anymore?) We make time for cleaning, errands, getting groomed, paying bills, romance, screwing around, why not do something for society, others, or charity? well, I know I am getting back into it. I will take my sons along with me and they can contribute also. I know they will love it as well. I am constantly teaching them to be good gentlemen, abiding citizens, and opportunities to give them humbling experiences. Personally, I know this will be a good experience for me to get back to reality...
