What Do I Do Now?
School has started and at this time of the year, I am usually
gearing up for yet another year of volunteering at a special school for at-risk
kids.
But not this year…
I will not be continuing with the most satisfying 7 years of
volunteer service I have ever experienced. I
am left with good memories and great relationships with extraordinary children
and teen-agers. I thank Jan, for believing in me and leading me to this
outstanding experience.
I will miss the students and wonderful teachers.
At the age of 83, I
don’t have the vitality I once had, but I am not ready to hang it all up yet.
So the question is,
“What Do I Do Now?”
I keep busy, with two blogs and a book in the works. Most of
my adult life has been spent in volunteer service, and I find it hard to quit
now. I am finding, in my senior years, that many of my friends are in need of
phone calls, caring visits and small gifts of cheer. I think perhaps I can fill
that challenge, moving from the younger generation to the older generation.
Who really knows what
the future will hold for any of us. I will let you know, when I figure it out.
