Regardless of your mood, current financial situation or overall belief system... volunteering just makes you FEEL GOOD. And while I do a lot of volunteering, since moving to Louisiana I haven't been a part of an organization that helps those who are down on their luck. The homeless or less fortunate have a huge place in my heart, so when my MawMaw asked if I wanted to go with the Ladies Auxiliary to serve at the local Soup Kitchen, I jumped at the chance. Yes! What a wonderful morning. Making eye contact and wishing each person a great day. Asking about them and listening. Smiling and just being present. It's so simple. And I know it makes a difference. It felt GOOD to spend Tuesday morning with these volunteers. I'll be back. I know I will. ~ Christina
