Volunteer Guilt

Even though I volunteer, normally several hours per week. I feel so SO so guilty when I don't make it in. Just saying 'make it in' makes me go blah. I havent been in a week. Guilty. I've taken time to myself, how dare I. haha But seriously, before writing this I checked the spca webpage to see how many dogs were there. Why I havent gone is, I needed to catch up on sleep. Lame I know. Starting a new location for work and I dont want to be sick. Getting rest, eating normal health food etc etc walked my Mom's dog etc. Last time I went walking, the rain went sideways. Soaked through 5 layers of clothing & jackets. Poor sister, who came with me, is still sick. (Happy Birthday Alisha and sorry you got sick)

I've talked to other volunteers, us 'regulars' seem to all feel 'the guilt'

Does the guilt make us better walkers? better volunteers?
