I had an unexpected half-day off work last Christmas season, so I took my 1/2 day off with pay, and I went to volunteer at the local rape and abuse crisis shelter. If people stopped to think about how much they take and gave back TWICE as much, this world would be such a better place.

It was a great idea and everyone was physched about it. It never panned out, as My husband and I got into a serious car accident in Sept of '05 and I still am not up to the volunteering, I am hoping in one of the upcoming years to be able to do it, I think it would be nice. Anyways hats off to you, I think you did a wonderful thing, and I am glad your friend had a chance to look at things from another direction..
