Live of a giver

Hello, my name is Dirk, and I am a giver...  Lately, my choice to be kind and giving has created more opportunities to help others then I can really manage.  I am happy to be living in a way that makes me feel good about myself, but I am also having to learn how to cope with an intense level of stress resulting from my many commitments.  Today  I have to go down to MA to meet with R's therapists to see what I can do to help her recover from her decade long depression.  Wednesday and Thursday I have to find time  to coordinate a couple of volunteer groups at the adolescent home, Thursday I take J to his therapist, Friday I will likely take out one of the boys from the adolescent home and this weekend I have to find some time for my family and household chores.  While all this benevolent activity is time consuming it beats wasting away in Clickerville.

I think devoting time to others is the best way to live life. Sometimes it can become overwhelming, but there's a sense of achievement and a feeling of reward in knowing that you contributed in a positive way in someone else's life. Definitely does beat clickerville. Go, Dirk!
