I was over at the other board this morning, and replied to Chris, and coming over here, I've realized another something.
That although we have been playing together for years, in many ways we have lost touch with each other.
And thought I would share here, what I shared with her.
This is what I shared: (copy and paste)
There is so much going on, and I'm constantly feeling like I'm playing catch up.
I've been spending an insane amount of hours at the food bank, helping them. It was never set up properly and it was run by people who were absent, so essentially it wasn't run, and there was massive food theft of food donations, etc.. they recently hired a lady who is trying to create a solid foundation, and its been an uphill battle on ice. Trying to find volunteers who care about the people coming through, setting up systems for everything, record keeping, food in food out, donations, people in, people out, money in, money out, even cleaning, computer stuff, absolutely no organization of anything, etc.. and frankly I have found myself burned out from it. Everything in my life was basically put on hold, I've missed summer, and there is so much more to do, but then a neighbour died, and a lady asked for help to organize it, but then back out on her offer, and the whole thing has got me reallythinking wanting to re-assess, and wanting to change the way I do things in my life, I want to follow my heart, instead of what my head is trying to tell me what to do.
So now I'm playing catch up with my life and trying to fullfill what I had said I would do, and trying to re-assess.
And another thought occurred to me, is that we can have a private forum on the board for our members only for us to share what is going on in our lives. How do people feel about that?
