I am setting a goal today that I want to do volunteer work at Thanksgiving and Christmas from now on.

I already regularly do volunteer work through out the year but it’s not related to the holidays.

This has been the hardest Thanksgiving ever for me so far. I don’t want to be like this. I am sinking and I’ve got to pull myself out of this. I can’t look to anyone else to do it for me.

Since I love volunteer work, I will start there. I am going to look into nursing homes or battered women’s shelters.

Anybody else have ideas for volunteer work at the holidays? My city already has so many people who volunteer at soup kitchens and feeding the homeless - there’s a waiting list for volunteers there so I will look for other ideas.
