what to write... i felt compelled as i was watching this HBO series 6 feet under, which i might add "god dam thats cliche"....... ..... is a great show. im listening to some music and adding more to my ipod preparing to run up to campus to print off an exam objective for my behavioral statistics course. i went to work today. i work in assited living for people with traumatic brain injuries and other mental illnesses. the company is great and the house that im assinged to is fucking beautifull. the residents are amazing individuals who have all had a large impact on my life this year. Today i sat out in the yard at a house i dont normally work at and talked with some of the residents of that home. it was kinda of strange, i was sitting under a tree with them rolling this ball back and forth between the 4 of us and one of them decided to start considering there posession of the ball as a means to describe something positive about there life and something they were thankfull for today. i kid you not All of them said somthing so genuinely kind and thoughtfull to me that if i hadnt been so beside myself i would have probably choked up alittle. i think it might have been so caught off gaurd i was by there sincerity. it helped me to realize that i have a great job. dispite all the minor negative things i can think of about it. whether it be i dont get paid enough of i dont have enough hours or i dont have a supervisors position yet or whatever it might be. when i look at it i get paid by insurance companies and the federal government through social security and insurance settlements to share time with people who can honestly teach people soo much about appreciating what they have and simple suttleties about life. somtimes its hard to keep things in perspective.
