Its additive, but that good

This is a feel good story,

MyDH and I have started to volenteer at our local Foodbank.

What is a foodbank well we make up hampers and sell them for $25 they are worth about $130 any how it has taken us a while to go and help out but we are enjoying it so much. We go several afternoons a week, the best part is if I am too sore to do anything I can just sit down and talk and laugh.

When I say laugh I mean really laugh we have a lot of fun.

It makes us feel so good to help others out who are doing it really tough.

When we are not on roster we feel like we are missing out on things.

I am sleeping better and have lost weight.

Now my DD goes on the nights they pack 80 plus boxes to take to a small country town about an hours drive from here.

I know when you help others it makes you feel so good. Sometimes I will help my pastor friend at a homeless shelter. I can't really sing that good, but I participate in the service. It gets my mind off of poor me syndrome. I go home always counting my blessings.

Kathy, how wonderful!  You are feeling better because you are helping others and not really thinking about your pain, you are laughing which releases endorphines, and you have joy in your heart!  Keep it up!  I love hearing stories like this.

I'm glad helping others is helping you!

Since I cannot work right now I volunteer at a few places regularily. Every one I have met through these experiences has been so caring, helpful, and selfless, and I'm thankful that I can learn and grow through them, and give back to my community in whatever way I can.

I'm realizing that everyone has pain, everyone wants love and support, and the more you give, the stronger a person you become. Its truely humbling, and its truly helped me come to terms with my ilness.

Bless!
