Hello Mary

  What a great idea for a forum. To touch on the lighter, more gentle side of life now and then is good for the soul.

   With regard to volunteer work, what I do is a little different from what most people do. I can no longer afford to give much to charities. Other than a dollar or two in a can or jar that I see on a resturant counter now and then. Mostly what I do is try to gather support for different causes by sharing information with people that I meet in places like Adlandpro. My two main causes right now are children with autism and disabled veterans. One thing I seem to have plenty of is time so why not spend it doing something worth while.

   Thank you Mary for adding a bright spot to an otherwise dreadful day. I hear you Thomas and I feel "with you"

Without volunteers whereever they are..this world would be one very sorry place.. it has both been my pleasure ( and humbling experience) to meet some of the volunteers here on Adland who work so tirelessly to help all those who are in need.  In the real world..off the net I have met many men and women who give of themselves..just because..amazing...as for myself..before I moved to Alberta it was my pleasure and joy to help those who were head injured..there is nothing quite like it and I am the luckier and the richer person because of it..to serve mankind with joy and oh yes humour..well  there is no words than can describe that feeling..not ever..

Bless all the volunteers around the world..may they stay in our hearts forever.

Hi Mary,

As most who know me, I use my extra time to write poems of Our Lord Jesus Christ and spread the word at She Loves God.Com

I also try my best to make you all smile!
