WE COOK ONE OR TWO TIMES A MONTH, EACH. IT TAKES FOUR, MAYBE FIVE HOURS. AND TO COOK ONLY TWICE A MONTH INSTEAD OF EVERY DAY, IT SAVES A LOT OF ENERGY THINKING, “WHAT IS THE MEAL TODAY?” TO BUY ALL THE STUFF AND TO MAKE IT AND TO DO DISH WASH, EVERY DAY IT SAVES, I DON’T KNOW, TWO HOURS AND A LOT OF ENERGY. IN THIS PLACE, WHEN WE GET , WE HAVE TO MAKE FOOD. SO, IT’S TWO GIRLS AT COOKING FOR , PEOPLE. IT’S REALLY COOL. AND THEY COME TO ASK FOR HELP, BUT THEY ARE VERY GOOD. THEY DO IT. EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT STRESS, AND THE FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN HAVE STRESS BECAUSE THEY COME HOME FROM WORK, THEY HAVE TO BUY, THEY HAVE TO COOK. AND WHEN I COME HOME AND I’VE HAD MY SHOWER, THEN I HAVE TWO OR THREE HOURS WITH MY CHILDREN. I LIKE THAT THESE ELDER PEOPLE ARE LIVING HERE, BECAUSE THEY ARE KIND OF GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER FOR MY CHILDREN. I FEEL THEY LOVE MY CHILDREN AS MUCH AS I DO AND THEY ARE HAPPY WHEN THEY VISIT THEM AND THEY COME HERE AND THEY GET HUGS FROM MY CHILDREN. I FEEL IT’S A GIFT FROM ME TO MY CHILDREN TO LIVE HERE. SO, IT WAS A MIRACLE I FOUND THIS PLACE. IT SAVED ME, KIND OF, TO FIND IT, BECAUSE I NEEDED TO BE SURROUNDED BY OTHER GROWN-UPS, NOT ONLY MY OWN VERY SMALL CHILDREN. I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR YEARS NOW. I’D GLADLY TAKE YEARS MORE. I THINK WHEN WE WORK IN A COMMUNITY, WE REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW, “MY LIFE IS PRETTY GOOD AS IT IS, AND I HAVE SOMETHING TO GIVE TO SOMEBODY WHO MAYBE DOESN’T HAVE SOMETHING THAT I HAVE.” AND I THINK THAT MAKES PEOPLE SWITCH FROM FOCUSING ON, “WHAT DON’T I HAVE?” TO “WHAT DO I HAVE THAT I CAN SHARE?” AND THAT’S A VERY POWERFUL THING THAT WE KNOW FROM THE RESEARCH MAKES PEOPLE HAPPIER. WE ALL NEED SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OURSELVES TO CARE ABOUT. AND FOR SOME PEOPLE, STRUCTURED RELIGION GIVES THAT TO THEM. FOR OTHER PEOPLE, THEY DON’T BELIEVE IN THAT KIND OF STRUCTURED RELIGION, BUT THEY HAVE COMPION, CARING, GRATITUDE, AND THESE SPIRITUAL FEELINGS THAT CONNECT THEM TO THE UNIVERSE AND CONNECT THEM TO OTHER PEOPLE. NOW, ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS WE KNOW IS THAT NOT ALL RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE HAPPY AND NOT ALL RELIGIONS ARE HAPPY.
