Where am I? I need to volunteer...part 6

There was never time to do the things that counted. It was a mad rush to get to work than return home at night with your tail dragging. Then came the most important part of the day, family time, helping the kids along their way.

But poof… it’s magic and you are helping them with their’s and other friends kid’s tots learn how to skip rocks, hang on to a ski rope and the fine art of make "some-mores."

Having said good by to clocks, appointments and the "I just have to be there on time" mindset, Rosebud and I have time to help others and what a joy it is. For 40 years it was butt busting time and watching the pennies. No this isn’t Golden Pond time now, but as a card carrying member of ARRP who didn’t ask for a card at least we both have the time to enjoy the simple stuff that was under our noses for such a long time.

But the best of all is donating our time at our locale thrift shop which helps those in our area get by letting them have a better life and a wider smile. There are many ways to waste time and chasing a money wagon was one of them, but helping others is a gift unto yourself. So when someone passes the hat to you dig deep and your interal rewards will come.

So much for past and current history and the where am I series. Tomorrow? We are talking the future… like where is string cheese headed.
