To be honest it wasn't until my fourties that I started to think of others. I guess I was so wrapped up in my family and career.
At some point I started volunteering, quietly helping the private Christian school, quietly helping the local mountain bike club, quietly helping the local conservation club reforest our valley bottom, etc.
In our little cities river bottom we have now got more 6,000 trees planted. It won't really be noticeable until I'm sucking food out of a straw but it will make a difference.
Why? Not sure, makes me feel good in a very satisfying way. So yes, in my own small way I'm trying to give something back.
