#27 on my 101 List was to volunteer 8 times a year. I intentionally placed the bar high because I've done so little volunteering on my life, but I think it is very important. I'm ashamed to admit that I've done an atrocious job. But I did volunteer tonight! Better late than never.
I spent the evening playing bingo with seniors at the Bialystoker Nursing Home. I had a lovely time with Julia who giggled to herself every time she put down a chip. And Ralph who, when anyone else would win, would shout "There is a cheater amongst us." As I was leaving, I said good-bye to a woman who only spoke Spanish. She took my hand, squeezed it, and blessed me with an incredibly warm smile. A night well spent.
Song of the Day
Today's song is The Beatles' Hear Comes the Sun.
