Volunteering

Have you ever noticed that there are times in your life when, after years of doing generally nothing, all of the sudden you start volunteering for everything under the sun? I'm at that point. It's overwhelming right now, but starting to become fun. I know that in a few months I'll be so used to it that going back to being lazy is going to be boring. Granted, the occasional "me day" will be required, I'm sure, but for now it's just nice having something to do.

For the next few months I'm going to be doing a lot of running around. Literally. I signed up to run a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of America. I'm really kind of excited about it even though it means that I'll actually have to...well, run. I'm a softball and volleyball kind of girl. You know, the sports where any running is done in short spurts. Was I content with that? Nooooooooooo!!! I decided that it would be more fun to run 26.2 miles. 26.2 miles!!!!! I didn't realize that that distance was reachable by anything other than car. Okay, I did realize that, but refused to dwell on it. Anyway, it's for a good cause. If you would like to donate money towards my fundraising efforts, I will have a link to the site up after a while.

Other than that, I'm mostly involved in church activities. I used to be that girl at the back of the church who was more than happy to just blend in and not be noticed. Now, it seems that I volunteer (or get volunteered) for just about everything. I'm not complaining. I enjoy it. I just hope it never gets to the point where I hate any of it. I think I would know to back out before it gets to that point. We shall see.
