volunteering

one of my development plans for work, and really for life too, is to volunteer more - at least once a month for a few hours. it's not much, but it's a lot more than i was doing before, and it makes me feel good contributing to the community to help those less fortunate than i.
today i went to st mary's food bank with about 60 people as part of a work function, and we packaged over 3,000 boxes of food in 3 hours. it was exhausting, but also felt good to give back.  really helps to put life back into perspective, reminding you to let go of those nagging moments that can easily consume an otherwise beautiful day, because, well, there are more important things in life... :)
