Get out there and volunteer!

I believe I have been blessed beyond measure and one thing that helps me to remember that and keep a grounded perspective is volunteering.  It makes me feel good -- that's not why I volunteer but definitely a nice benefit. Earlier this week while I was reading to 1st and 2nd graders at Positive Tomorrows, a school here in OKC for homeless children, a little girl held her arms out real big and said, "I want a hug." So of course I gave the precious little one a big hug, probably the most meaningful work I did all day!
 
Some places/organizations I have volunteered at/for are:
Midland Memorial Hospital
Midland Police Department
Midland Teen Court
Southwest Children's Museum
Keep Midland Beautiful
City of Midland Aquatics
Fellowship Community Church
United Way
March of Dimes
Talitha Koum
