Things are gearing up at the science centre where I volunteer, and there's an arts centre that just put out a call for volunteers, so I think I'm going to stick with the stuff I genuinely *like* to do for now.
And last weekend the coastal cleanup group I belong to picked up 7 tons of garbage behind a housing project. That's a cause near and dear to my heart. It feels really good to do something that is so fulfilling.
So I can't say I'm not kept busy and challenged.
