Back to basics

cellboyNow that my training is during the week, I am now mostly free of the gym weekend mornings. So I am now thinking of doing, or going back to doing two things.
1. Most importantly; back to volunteering at the National Aids Memorial in Golden Gate Park. 10 yrs ago, I donated a brick (with the help of my friends), with my late partners name on it inscribed, in the Circle of Friends. Then I would on the once or twice a month schedule joining hundreds of others; high school children, parents, friends, corporate sponsors, in weeding, cleaning, planting the area. It was also a nice way to meet people. And very very therapeutic. Fall is on it's way, so things will probably need prepping for the winter. And my daily social activities may be slowing down as the rains approach. The last workshop is in October, but come spring the sechedule begins again. It's only once or twice a month anyway. And I live so much closer to this, than before. As a reward for our 3-4 hours of hard work we are treated to a delightful and very filling buffet lunch, under the beautiful trees of Golden Gate Park :)
2. I need to get back to some spiritual routine, either some meditation classes, or even going back to the MCC. It would keep me focused, and also a good way to meet new people.
For now though, since the last workshop is Oct 17th, I will go then, and return in the spring, so I think step 2 should be a try.
