Service to others

In my meeting last night part of the topic was depression (which I have) and giving to others of ourselves (which I never do). I realized last night that I never give, never volunteer. Not with kids school, my Temple, anything. I never want to be "put out" or have to adjust MY schedule for others. Also, I do like to volunteer bc I am afraid I will screw it up, but mainly just due to laziness I think.

Went to a women's meeting today and a newcommer (1 week) spoke and said she needed rides. Without even knowing where she lived (if it would be way out of my way or not) I gave her my phone number and offered to drive her to any meeting I was going to (I go 5-6 times a week). Baby steps... I'm headed in the right direction.
