i know one of my gifts
is giving my time...
because i never mind
doing anything as
long as it is spending time
with people whether it is
to help, or show that i care...
whatever it may be...

so last night after bringing
up the thing that i used to
work at an elderly home
[[fredericka manor in chula vista]]
it made me wonder...
i spend time with friends
and time with people who need
a better influence in their lives...
but, who should i be spending time
with in order to serve?

so i'm gonna look into stuff...
i'm gonna see if i can apply to
be a big sister or if i could
find another elderly home to work at...
old people are funny..
i dunno...something.

i remember when i was setting up
bingo, this old guy, leonard, came up
to me and was like "i should bring a pistol
to bingo... and then i'd automatically win..
then i could take all those prizes. we could
make it like an old western film bank hold-up"
&&
then there was the guy who had houdini, the dog...
and houdini would wander off and disappear
and it'd be my job to find that dog...
&&
then there was millie who wouldn't let anything stop her.
she had a sign on the back of her wheel chair that
said "here comes trouble" haha.
