Missing a day of walking worked out very well for me, I got to rest my aching Achilles tendons and put the time off to good use.
Because of the weather, the Pilgrims decided that walking in the cold and rain was not a great idea. Ann had the opportunity to do some community service by volunteering at the City Square thrift store in East Dallas and she asked if I wanted to join her. This is the second year that her Toast Masters group has volunteered at City Square
City Square’s mission statement :
“We fight the causes and effects of poverty through service, advocacy, and friendship. Together as a community of neighbors, we feed the hungry, heal the sick, house the homeless and renew hope in the heart of our city.”
More information can be found at City Square , I encourage you to take a look and participate if you can.
While our tasks may seem mundane, cleaning, moving furniture and racking coats, it saves dollars that are better spent providing all of the necessary services. The coats that some of the volunteers put on racks will not be sold but given to those in need. This coming week will be wet and the coldest of this season so they are just in time.
I met several very nice people, many were interested in the Camino that we’re doing and we may have added a new walking buddy…the more the merrier!
As the title says, it was a great way to spend a lousy day.
