Fourth December pickup thread

I don't mind sharing a little bit. For the last 8 1/2 years, every Tuesday (minus only a few), I have taught homeless veterans life skills at the Salvation Army. I pretty much tell them what has, and hasn't, worked for me. I also have many articles from doctors and others that we go over in class. It seems I get far more out of it than the time I put into it. Many board members, and friends, know that about 4-7pm on Tuesdays, I am doing my thing. It's the least I can do to give back a little of the good fortune I have had. Also, with my experiences and life situations I have gone through, I can really relate to them. Generally there are about 20-30 men and women in each class. I think I might learn as much as they do sometimes too.....Every now and then I am told of something that one of them does because of what we have talked about in class, to better themselves. That makes it all worth it....best regards
