We had such a great meeting tonight. Sure, we were there for two whole hours! But, I brought Dunkin' Donuts and we stood by our town codes and we stuck together. We all agreed that we need to protect the integrity of our historic district and I just walked out of there with a great feeling tonight. And no one cried! Sure, someone was a little miffed at times because we weren't just accepting what he presented to us, but we all agreed to work together in the end. If we can do this, why can't politicians?
I know I sound like a real cornball, but I just love volunteering so much. I get aggravated when the two or three difficult people get in the way, but other than that, I really love doing something for my town. Until I became involved in these two groups, I had not volunteered since high school when I worked at the elderly care center in my town. I did not feel very appreciated by the volunteer coordinator there, but I did it for three years because of the patients. Here in freak town, I feel appreciated most of the time and it is just so much fun!!! Anyway, if I did not volunteer officially, I would be driven to go back to guerrilla gardening!
Trying not to think about the needles.... obviously not being successful....
