Yesterday I had to attend a training session at hospital for volunteers and I sat next to a woman, Mary, 93, who has been volunteering for just 15 years. She only started when she finally quit working and felt she still needed to be out there. Now she thinks of staying home, the fear of falling in the upcoming winter weather requires her to rethink her volunteering. She taught at the local schools until she was 70 and then became a tour guide with Toby Tours for six years. How interesting she was to listen too. Maybe she had some plodding years, but she walked right out of them and enjoyed herself for the most part.

Wow, that woman would go right to the top of my 'make a new friend list!'
ReplyDeleteOn the Tibetan Wheel of Life, it is said the Human Realm is the one easiest to awaken in, but the biggest stumbling block is that 'daily trudge' mentality that we can easily get stuck in.
Yes,
DeleteI can't think of any worklife that isn't plodding on paper. Our mental attitude and outside interests keep our spirit alive
