Dee, what a timely article for me. Now that I am retired from the Navy, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am looking to incorporate volunteering into my life and see how I can give more of myself altruistically to my community. Thanks for this and hope you had a great summer. All the best, Matthew
I’ve volunteered mainly in healthcare settings. It’s important to know what direction your time, efforts, and money are going towards. Thanks, Dee, great reminder!
Appreciated this. I am volunteering right now - helping a lady to learn English and really enjoying it. I think so often we forget all it adds to our own life as well as that of others.
Great subject … thanks for sharing these thoughts … For me … volunteering was Peace Corps after college and then community work, mostly around yacht clubs teaching sailing and managing races … volunteering is a big part of wellness, feeling appreciated.
Agreed. Thanks for reading Lawnin. I spent some time as “rail meat” on big boats in my younger years. Key West Race Week. Block Island. Around Newport.
