Ten Weeks Retired--Two Volunteer Jobs

Volunteering is so good for the person giving the time.  Lending a helping hand warms the heart and feeds the spirit.  The senior citizens group in my hometown is an amazing group of people.  The age range is 65 to 98.  Each person has a story and health issues to contend with.  The lunch meal is served and everyone is around the large table and those issues seem to disappear.   They enjoy each other's company and make the most of each moment shared.  It's fantastic to see that humor, caring, and the practice of social graces does not diminish with age. 

The free health clinic has been a blessing for me.  It is exactly what I need to continue to practice nursing on a limited basis.  Delivering care in partnership with other health care professional through a program that is totally client focused is fantastic.   Please keep the Living Well Clinic in your thoughts and prayers.
