Your Junk, My Treasure
By admin. Filed in Uncategorized |
I started volunteering several hours a week at my local Salvation Army a few months ago. Alas, there is where my life’s hobby, at 47 was created. I never had a hobby that consumed my spare time; actually I never had a hobby at all. I have never been able to understand what people got out of knitting, reading, sewing, gardening, etc… Well I have come to realize that a hobby is actually an addiction. I love going through the bags of clothes, toys and doodads that people donate. It’s like Christmas in each bag. Sometimes there’s a lot of junk and we have a good time laughing at things people buy, but must of all I’m amazed at the things people give away. It makes me anxious if I go two days without visiting, I’m so afraid someone’s going to get something that I can’t live without. I have found my calling, my passion, and my prize….there in bags of the things “you couldn’t live without”.
