RC263.A5.1 - Being Mindful
Alexandra Andrews and David R. Bradley

We can lend a hand to those around us. We can be mindful of simple human needs. Hard as it can be to get money, it is even harder to get time. If you have any, be assured, someone somewhere needs it. Volunteer at your local cancer center. If nothing else, shut-ins always need drivers, not just for treatments but for shopping, church, errands
