Awesome couple of days followed by silence

[The People]

I have laryngitis. Don't think there is anything else wrong. So I am OK with it. After 4 years of 90% hibernation due to health issues I volunteered at a local festival. I had a blast. Lots of walking but no swelling in my ankles (issue for a while) Was late a few times and I am very, very sore. Good sore however. I won a prize, nice one. Met some great people and did some other stuff.

I have been volunteering since I was in college. Took time off as explained above but this stint made me realize how much I have missed it.

Even if you don't like functions where you have to deal with people, you can always volunteer. Shoveling driveways for seniors if you have real winter. Helping out with Special Olympics where they don't know or care who you are as long as you are nice to them.

Some people might say "maybe when I am better" but for me this is part of my getting better. Feeling a sense of achievement as well as fun. Just my thoughts. However we all walk our own paths.
