Any time you willingly do something without compensation, you have volunteered. As you care for family and friends, give your time to church and community, or take care of a pet or garden, you are volunteering. Giving your time, talent, and attention can improve the world around you and, at the same time, can provide you with a sense of purpose and accomplishment.
Flip the coin and realize how many people voluntarily make your life better and easier: your parents, your children, your friends, church members, and the list goes on. Remember to appreciate what they do for you. Don't take them for granted.
Recently after a big rain, I noticed some annuals springing out of the ground that I had planted three years ago. Obviously some seeds had remained in the soil all this time and came up on their own without any planning from me. These volunteers are providing beauty free of charge.
