Volunteer

It's been almost a year since my lay off. I feel so silly for assuming I'd be able to land a job right away with no problems. Although there are sooo many people qualified to do what I do, I still felt invincible.

So here I am a year later... bored, a bit heavier, well up to date on my TV shows, but mostly feeling I've lost some worth in the world. People may complain about their jobs but you go home feeling accomplished and needed, I've lost that in the last year.

So what better way to get it back then to Volunteer, but I'm not finding much in my area. It's amazing... I thought there would be a ton of opportunities, left and right... but surprisingly not. I've put a few apps in for what I could find and now I just have to wait and see. But I am excited, It's something to look forward to, feel good about, be needed again, rather then sitting on my rump.

Update

LOL, I just found a volunteer opportunity to help prepare food for the penguins and seals at the local aquarium. I would not call that the heart warming opportunity I am looking for but it still sounds like fun!
