Simplicity

Today at work I was thinking a lot. THere has been somethings go on at work that I don't always agree with. Things that hurt me and make me angry. Things I get my self so worked up over.

The client I was working with does not speak, is fully wheel chair bound, has to have their food blended and spoon fed, and has to have full assistance with personal care.

I was doing her physio (her stretches) with her today. Her physio consists of rolling around on a soft mat just to get stretched out and have a break from her chair. Today's game was putting a ball on her stomache and tapping it while calling her name...to her nothing could have made her world better. She laughed and laughed and laughed. I had to do everything in my power not to cry.

I see this simplicity in her life. And I think of my own. How I have all these issues, that when I stop and think of her situation, don't seem so big. Why are we this way??

My thought of the day. Thanks for making me think girlie!

here I sit

Here I sit after yet another crazy weekend. Cory and I along with a great group of friends did quite a bit of renevations and a lot of cleaning on the house in Morden...wow it was a mess. Funniest part...So I was washing one of the bedroom walls and it was gross (Even minus the glow in the dark paint...) Well cory looks in to see what I am doing and asks "What is that white spot on the wall?" my response "where I have washed". We scrubbed walls, roofs,vaccummed, burned stuff and had actually a lot of fun. We are doing it all again next weekend and would love more help!

LIfe has been going interesting...I am VERY glad to be done at SBC. IT was great while it lasted but ya. Work is going well. I love working with each of my clients, they are all so unique and special...I wish all the staff could see that!

College and Careers tonite! Woot WOOT...nothing tomorrow night, care groups wednesday night, youth Thursday night, work all weekend on the house and back to the routine...wonder if life will ever calm down...
