yesterday, lucy joined me on my second annual volunteering adventure for the world wildlife fund cn tower climb for climate change. this year, as last, i was a registration volunteer registering helping to register between 5000-6000 climbers who all raised a minimum of $75.00 going directly to help fight climate change by punching it's lights out with huge wads of cash.
even though i felt like i was going to ralph about halfway through (blame it on the magnum of wine and 3 hours of sleep the night before) it was, as last year, a really wonderful community experience. to volunteer is to give of your time and your skills to a greater good but more than that it's to be part of a group of people who want to do something outside of what is required. who want to work not for money, but for the pleasure of knowing that your efforts are important and invaluable.
because i'm ridiculous i like to think things like 'i am helping to save the world!' and 'today i took on climate change and won' but truthfully, you can think whatever you want. and you can feel as good as you want. because what you're doing is good. and is helping. and is, in part, saving the world.
