Today went by really fast and with nothing really exciting to report.
This morning I wrote and wrote till my hand started cramping - 25 postcard messages in total. :)
Afterwards I decided to head downtown to visit the Make-a-Wish Foundation Hawaii. They're always in need of volunteers so they were happy to see me. :)
Later in the evening I found my self walking in a very deserted downtown. I asked a local at the bus stop about why it was so empty at 630 pm and about all the vacancies on every corner and she mentioned it was all due to the recession in the local economy. I felt badly for all the business owners whose shops and restaurants had closed down. This is my town now, I don't know if there's anything I could do to make a change but I'll certainly try to help in any way I can. First, I plan to start up my volunteer group again. I feel that when a community works together to help each other, the entire community will benefit.
