I think that it always makes you feel better when you know you have done something to help someone who could really use the help. I know it does me. I had a great opportunity to experience that this weekend. On Sunday morning when I could have slept in a little longer then normal I decided I was going to get up at 6:45 am so that I could go volunteer at our local Soup Kitchen. This was the first time that I had ever done this, even though I had been wanting to do so for a long time. I got to do it with some great friends and found that it was a very fulfilling feeling, even though I already knew that it would be. It definitely helped open my eyes to the needs of the community. I plan on trying to volunteer at least once every couple of months because I always feel the need to help people. Volunteering at the Soup Kitchen has also gotten me very excited to start working on my Relay for Life team. I started team a couple of months but haven't really gone very far with it yet. I need to really kick it in gear though if I am going to get team members and a goal met before June 17th! My team name is Strides for Hope and if you would like to donate to the team here is our link.

Just like the Soup Kitchen this is something completely new to me so I am a little bit nervous that I'm not going to do well or get done what I need to, so wish me luck!
