I am very happy this Thursday because of good news on the volunteer front. Among my volunteer careers, I coordinate the tutors at the local elementary school. It involves playing matchmaker between tutors and students, coordinating schedules with tutors, students, and teachers, and a mountain of paperwork for each. I've done it for a few years and I'm passionate about the difference the program makes in the lives of children.
But I've had enough now. I had the unhappy task of telling my supervisor that I am not going to do any volunteer work next year. It's all taking its toll. I need to take a breather.
We both worried about finding a replacement for me, and happily yesterday the perfect parent stepped up to the plate. She'll do a wonderful job and I have a great sense of relief that all my hard work will have some continuity.
Happy Dance time!
Happy Thursday is hosted by Goddess in Progress.

5 people stopped folding laundry to write:
As a mom let me thank you for volunteering and now take your well deserved rest.

It's always such a good feeling when someone worthy takes over your work.
KUDOS to you for all the great volunteer work you did. Great job!
God bless a good volunteer!
I'm proud of you for the courage it took to come to that internal decision and to make the official declaration and that it was not easy in coming and will be hard at first. So glad for the program and kids that a great replacement has been found.
