Life Lately

                                

Since Graduation, I’ve been…..

·         Taking naps

·         Reading for pleasure

·         Watching TV

·         Getting massages

·         Getting pedicures

·         Going to the gym more

·         Playing with adorable babies

·         Planning a trip to California

·         Planning a trip to Vegas

·         Passively job searching

·         And overall doing whatever I want… whenever I want!



Graduation Day!!

Little Boy Learns Where Meat Comes From

This adorable boy talks with his mother about why he doesn't want to eat octopus. His logic makes complete sense to me. And another vegetarian is born.  :)

DAYS!

 

Social Work

This work. . .

exhilarating

and exhausting

drives me up a wall

... and opens doors I never imagined

lays bare a wide range of emotions

yet leaves me feeling numb beyond belief

provides tremendous satisfaction

and leaves me feeling profoundly helpless

evokes genuine empathy

and provides a fearsome intolerance within me

puts me in touch with deep suffering

and points me toward greater wholeness

brings me face to face with many poverties

and enriches me encounter by encounter

renews my hope

and leaves me grasping for faith

enables me to envision a future

but with no ability to control it

breaks me apart emotionally

and breaks me open spiritually

leaves me wounded

and heals me
