Thank all of you for the responses. Very thoughtful and helpful...

As far as volunteering - this may blow you away, but I don't even feel worthy of that!! I am afraid I might say or do something wrong and therefore make something even worse. Sad, I know. But there I am.

There is no such thing as "worthy" when it comes to volunteering. Most organizations will even teach you how to do whatever it is they need you to do.

Don't overthink this...just do it. You will be pleasantly surprised.

ArtFriend,

No matter how hard we try. Nobody bats 1000. we are going to say the wrong thing. and sometimes do the wrong thing. it is the price we pay for engaging with others. but we -- all of us, anyone who isn't just hiding in a corner somewhere, we are going to get some things right and we are going to do some good, make some people smile, make someone else feel worthy by treating them like they are worthy.

all of the perfect people have gone to live beside the right hand of the Father, and so forth.
