Sometimes you just fall in to the right places.

It doesn't happen often, but when it does you get this feeling that, like, ten years ago you knew to expect something good, but just didn't know what that "good" was yet. People say this when they find the love of their lives or the job of their dreams or even the apartment they've wished for. There are no worries it all just makes sense to be in that place .

That's how I feel being involved with 2nd Story.

Two years ago I joined what I thought was just going to be a writing group that involved performing and meeting cool people. And what I realized, from last Saturday, is that we are a lot more than that. It was my first year of joining the 2nd Story and Serendipity staff in the "Rebuilding Together" program. It's basically a foundation that helps underprivileged to get the maintenance on their home that they deserve. This ranges from painting to putting in new pipes to yard work. Professionals and volunteers come together turn someones home around. In the end, they have their home in a place they may have not been able to get it to on their own.

In the end, I can not tell you how in place I felt by taking part in it.
In the end, I can not tell you how seeing what others don't have put me in my place.
