Wealth By Giving

"Practicing positive communication, appreciation, and kindness are likely to boost your happiness, improve your relationships, and add to your portfolio of psychological wealth." - Ed Diener

During our Leadership McLean County class last Friday we had 34 people each give an example of a volunteer organization they'd served. Later a collection of those people volunteered to help deliver food to needy people.

Trying out new charitable organizations not only makes life better for others, but more interesting and healthier for ourselves. When we do varied things, we have more to talk about with others. And the more we talk with others, the better we feel, not to mention the more we may inspire others to serve.
