What did you do today?

This is what our whole family did. We woke our kids up early and piled into my car, and his truck so he could take a wheelbarrow. And we helped many other volunteers build a playground.
  I didn't carry anything heavy, use any tools (other than a rake, shovel & wheelbarrow), or shovel any cement for that matter. Nothing to write home about.
  But when my kids play on this playground, along with many other kids, they can say "My dad & grandpa helped build this!" What's more, is there were so many people there who's kids & grandkids even are too old for the playground, or their families lives far away. There were even people there who don't even have any kids! And they all showed up to show community support & voluteer one day of their time.
   We fell short of our goal number of volunteers- but we got it done.  It did really aggravate me, that there were people in the YMCA working out, while all of this was going on. Deep breath and let it go.
  A devoted group of people at our YMCA worked hard, for a long time to get this project rolling. But now it's done and the kids can play.
