I have always struggled in life. I’ve dealt with weight problems,
health problems, a broken marriage, depression, and trouble making it
from one month to another financially. But three years ago, something
happened that has really made a difference in my life. I was asked, and
accepted, a request to deliver hot meals two days a week to the
home-confined elderly. This was exactly what I needed. I spent so much
time just dwelling on my problems, but my new little job delivering
meals two days a week really started changing things.
My focus
started changing from my problems to the tremendous struggles these
elderly were facing. I started caring for these people, and as I did, I
started feeling better about myself. I still am overweight, but I am
losing. I still have health problems, and I still have money problems,
but I’m happy now. There is no depression and life is fun!
I am
so thankful I accepted the offer from the lady who asked me to
volunteer and deliver meals to the elderly. I just hope that if someone
who is facing some of the same kinds of problems I faced, reads my
story they will consider the two days a week therapy that changed my
life.
