I Need To Get Over Myself

I'm celebrating Mother's Day with mom today instead of tomorrow, so I've been debating about joining in on a Random Acts of Kindness Meetup Group Event tomorrow. It's "Adopt a Grandparent" on Mother's Day at a nursing home in Aurora. I don't know why, but I've been too nervous to join activities in the past.  Probably because it's something new and I don't know how I will fit in or be able to contribute once I show up.

Today's Our Daily Bread ended with a quote from Shakespeare: "They truly love who show their love." 

I should just RSVP and then I'll be committed.  I couldn't imagine being alone in a nursing home on any holiday where love is being showered upon others "out there" in the world. Despite *wanting* to do something for elderly people, something has held me back. If I focus on others' needs then maybe it's easier to 'get over myself' and remember it's not about me. It's all about them.
