Volunteer

Since I'm getting my mind off of this whole trying to conceive I figured I'd slowly throw myself back into volunteering.  Because I do volunteer I've been invited to the annual volunteer luncheon.  Usually I get a certificate of appreciation.  Last year I didn't even realize that we were having a luncheon I was so into this whole TTC lifestyle.  Its time to pay more attention to the world once again.

Hopefully I'll be dropping off the blanket I made to our FRG coordinator soon.  Its not that its annoying to have it bagged and sitting on my hall table but I'd just like to see it given to someone deserving in the near future.  Our coordinator is quite busy and when she gets a moment to breath she does look for those she thinks deserve little gifts.

Wow, I sound like such a snob.  Sorry if that's how I might come off in this post as its not intended to sound like I have my nose in the air.

Volunteering gives me a sense of achievement like I'm giving back to the community that has given so much to me.  It has given me the chance to make new friends and we all could use more friends.

Volunteering might just help me heal some of the hurts that I've experienced with my losses while on the trying to conceive journey.  Maybe I'm expecting too much out of this self-less service but hey if it makes me feel good, even a little bit, then how can it be bad?

    1. If I can't give back to the world my DNA then I'll give back my blood, sweat and tears.

  4. I've been using the volunteering I do with my service fraternity to fill the time and help me feel fulfilled while I wait to cycle, so I get it.
