It was my first day volunteering with Cancer Research UK today. I have been wanting to do something meaningful since I returned to Portsmouth; today I finally did! All of us know someone who has suffered from Cancer, so for me it was a no brainer, this had to be the charity I gave my support too. Currently my Aunty Carol and Darrell's Mother are dealing with the spectre of Cancer; this is an organisation all of us should support!
At the moment I do have a lot of time on my hands, so need to keep myself occupied. Of course my pressing priority is being with my Mother, but I do have the luxury of being able to dedicate time to other things also.
In truth, I never thought I would be volunteering again, especially after my time working for another well known charity, but I have recovered from that ordeal and put my time working with them firmly behind me. Just because one charity acts in a terrible way, it doesn't mean they all should be tarred with the same brush.
I am working at their Portsmouth branch, a shop that is only a couple of years old; modern, clean and beautifully looked after. The team are welcoming and a joy to work with. All volunteers, whichever charity they champion are wonderful, dedicated people, they have a very different outlook on life; their priority, helping others, the same vision I adhere too! I have always believed firmly in the work charities do, despite my past experiences.
I have enjoyed my first day working for Cancer Research and will be back in on Monday to offer my services once again. I do have a busy few days ahead of me now; starting a new job tomorrow and an interview on Friday and of course I also need to visit my Mother this week as well. Positivity reigns in my life at the moment, in complete contrast to my life in Spain, for that reason I need to continue on the path I am. I can at least do the things that make me happy; being with family, volunteering and of course writing. This is beginning to feel like a whole new chapter, as yet I have no idea where it will take me; another rollercoaster ride at an unpredictable time!
