My poor battle weary stomach needs "stomach food".I am going to go on a quest for it.It is my version of "What I like" .Hope that is O.K. . Love Ami

I wish you'd go volunteer....
somewhere.
I wish I could go hold babies at the hospital.... preemies.... crack babies...... but....
it's not possible while I have little children. Also, not a good idea if needles and medical proceedures freak you out... tubes and wounds, etc.
You could also volunteer as an advocate/victim support at the emergency room.
Bringing them clothes and calming them down. In some counties you would also deal with child victims. Not for everyone.
You have to take a class and sign up...... go through the system but I think it would really feed your stomach to reach out and help people less fortunate or truly in need of help.
You spend a lot of time feeding your stomach here but.... I think you could multiply this experience by 1000 if you could lay your hands on someone and really see that you're helping someone, IRL.

Lighter,
I think that's an excellent idea!!
In our small community, the local Christian mission thrift shop and help-center are always needing volunteers... no tubes or needles there. But personally, I'd love to take a class like the one you mentioned.
The other place that always needs help is the womens' shelter... even if it's just entertaining the youngsters while the adults work out details.
Love,
Hope
