Volunteerism

I was thinking this morning, that I'm susceptible to being volunteered for just about anything, within my realm of abilities!
One of my Tai Chi instructors, out of the blue one day, asked me if I could do data entry (yes). Before I knew it, I was down at the Tai Chi Association doing data entry one afternoon a week.
We had a celebration at the same organization, one Saturday, and I wore one of my hand-knit sweaters. A lovely white haired lady came over to admire it, and next thing I knew, I somehow had volunteered to knit finger puppets for children at the hospital. And I don't remember saying I'd knit finger puppets!
Truth be told, I'm just as glad. I was looking for some little volunteer job to take up some of the spare time I had. As for the finger puppets, I'd admired some cute ones I saw years ago, but, with a grown son, and no prospect of grandchildren, there was no need to learn to make them. Besides, as every knitter knows, you end up with a basket full of scraps, and no use for them!
