"Our greatest weariness comes from work not done."
---Eric Hoffer
Guess I agree with this quote. A bunch of MoverMoms and dads (myself included) packed up the Enterprise truck today and we filled it with candy. Candy just kept coming and coming and coming - even hours after we loaded it all. It's more candy than I've ever seen except for at the Hershey factory! You name it, it was there - every type of candy in existence in the US - I'm pretty sure about that.
But even though the project involved physical labor, it was not tiring but energizing to do it. We worked together and finished the job in less than half the time that I expected. Really nice to have different friends meet each other and get to talk while volunteering.
So the truck is loaded and ready to go. Heading out tomorrow with a very good feeling about hundreds or more likely thousands of participants in this project, especially kids, and of getting to meet so many people (though my house is a mess and I've got a big list of errands that I've been successfully avoiding!).
Nervous about the drive for sure, but it's all part of the adventure. Wish me luck!!
