Wow, what a nice day! I got up early (at least for a Saturday) this morning and went to my church to help get the food ready for the Angel Food Ministry distribution. I don't think they really needed me, but I was there to help anyway. After that I went to the riverfront to help serve breakfast to the homeless. When I got there, there was already a long line of people waiting on breakfast to start. I saw absolutely NO one I knew. You know me, I just walked up to someone and introduced myself and asked how I could help. I ended up serving coffee. I was really surprised there were so many people there to eat. I'd estimate we served between 100 and 150 people. It was a very humbling experience. I think this is something I would like to get involved with...they serve every Saturday morning, year round. If nothing happens I'm gonna show up again next weekend. If anyone wants to join me, just give me a call.
After I came home I took a nap. Wow, I don't know when I've ever rested so well in my life. When I woke up, it took me a minute or two to even decide where I was! I didn't feel guilty about taking a nap because I felt that I had already done something productive early in the day.
Not much excitement this evening....just fixed dinner, went to tan, and reconnected with some "old" friends on the phone. I really LOVE my apartment. When I'm away from home, I just want to hurry and get back, and when I'm here, I never want to leave! I really have a difficult time making myself get out and do things because I'm happiest when I'm at home. I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing though, is it?

I'm glad you had a good morning!!! I'd like to volunteer and do some things sometime :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way about being home - I'm very much a homebody. I like getting out and doing things, but I think I am very content at home :-)
Hope you have a great rest of the weekend!
Love you!
