Filled with apprehension and disquieting doubts,
pushing forward anyway.
Setting aside fears, relying on an inner courage
I don't quite feel just yet.
Notions of greater things to come are hiding
just around the corner and surprisingly are
welcomed.
Meeting people, taking on new challenges,
writing articles, hoping to use innate talents
and share them with others.
Volunteering fulfills many an hour, pleasantly
occupied, doing whatever feels good and
discarding the rest.
Facing the future with blessed peace as I
become the Editor of the Volunteer Voice
Newsletter at Saint Joseph's Hospital.
