Volunteering is so worthwhile. I walk the halls of hospice to say hello to everyone I meet. I ask about their lives. Takes no special skills other than being able to listen and ask questions.
Sending emails to our troops overseas has been of mutual benefit.
One summer, I spent two hours a day stuffing envelopes for various charities.
When walking I make sure to smile and say hello to those approaching since I have been told I normally have a don't-you-dare-talk-to-me demeanor.
Be well.
