And she always comments on those. Continue:

I have been helping seniors who had problems figuring it out. If you have the time, reach out and help others. I have seen immense relief and a weight lifted when people get an appointment. Plus, helping others makes you feel good! 💪

I know this is not traditional, just curious about the bowls opinions
