Today I volunteered at a support group with an assignment in mind, to improve my person to person communication skills and ultimately improve my networking skills. I chose a venue beyond the usual but I knew it was going to be mutually beneficial anyway.
So there I was with my community mentor, and instead of serving food and getting chairs for everyone, I was invited to join in and I was warmly welcomed.
What happened next was something I did not expect. I was included and I felt included.
It is a nice feeling to be in a group where one gets a chance to be listened to and to listen without prejudices and judgments. I have realized too how much goodness a hug can do, and from a stranger.
Sometimes it's all we need for all the ups and downs and the merry-go-rounds.
So today, I am more thankful than I was yesterday.
I wish I took a still photograph to remember their faces, but it was too personal and I really don't need a still shot to remember them. The experience was worth the while and my guess is I have benefited more than I will ever realize.
