Living Life to the Fullest
by Lois Jamieson
I love this quote, especially now that I’m in my 80s. When I was 75 I started a new volunteering career. Since that time my life had not been made longer, but it is larger.
I had to take a BIG step
to turn to working at a school for at-risk kids in a crime ridden area of the
city. I started as volunteer librarian and then branched out to starting an
etiquette/Fashion class for the high school girls, followed by an etiquette
class for the lower grade girls. I have shopped for good used books, read to
all ages, and become friends with wonderful kids - I call them kids without
stuff.
