volunteer. live longer.

i recently came across an study in women's health magazine that said people who volunteer live longer.  whenever i volunteer- which is not enough - people always respond with kind words about my character, etc.  i've tried to explain that i absolutely get more out the experience than the people i'm "helping."  it's selfish to a degree.  i can't find the specific article i read this past weekend, but here is another to back up the study.  don't just take.  give back.  help others.  live long.  win. win.
