Thanks again to everyone for the well wishes! It was a perfect day.
Kathy, if that is something which interests you then you must give yourself the best gift anyone can give themselves and do that which you most want to do. Without exception, everyone I've ever met with a similar experience feels the way I do when it's over; you receive far more than you could have possibly given.
There are quite a few organizations now which give the inexperienced an opportunity to take a "volunteer vacation." I wouldn't recommend the one I joined the first time, so I won't. If it has the initials GC, stay away. If not for some determined individuals in our group, it would have been a disappointing effort.
Anyway, I harp on about going because the rewards are inexpressible and if you have the slightest interest to help others, especially those who don't expect help, you will be forever changed.
I'm kinda an all or none type person and have the tendency to go overboard, but give yourself this gift only you can give. I'll help you pack! ;-)
Now to cap off the perfect day with some Monday Night Football!
What an inspiring post from the birthday boy!! Every word so true!!
