Just a nice thing I wanted to share...

[luvnmm]

I've been on disability for depression for several years now and sitting at home makes me even nuttier! I've been told I'm a housewife (I hate that term) and that cleaning the house daily is my responsibility. Talk about...well, you get the idea. Anyway, since my mom was diagnosed with ALS, I've been trying to become involved in any way I can. Up until recently, I haven't had a car so I've been tied to the house. My husband finally decided to fix the car after we had some words, so I now have my van back. I went to the ALS office here in Richmond to pick up some stuff, and Cathy Easter talked with me and then asked if I would like to volunteer in the office. My ears perked up...of course I would. She doesn't have a problem with my only able to do it during summer school hours, nor does she seem to have a problem with my taking in my youngest on Fridays when there is no school. Yesterday was my first day and I loved it! I got to use my office skills and it felt so good to be part of an office environment. Anway, I just wanted to share my happy story.
