Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I start a new volunteer gig today. Kindergarten lunch monitor at the elementary school where my two eldest foster children attend Kindergarten and 3rd grade. Big Sis is excited to beat the band at the prospect of seeing me at lunch.

You got this!
Sigh. . .
The lunch monitoring went beautifully. Got to see both kids in their respective lunch cycles and they were thrilled.
If you want to be a kid campus superstar, volunteer to be a lunch monitor.
The kids were absotively in awe of seeing a new face they could raise their hands for. Being affiliated with that new face made the foster kids rock stars for a day.
