For the time spent visiting with my daughter when she was home last weekend.
Looking forward to my daughter coming home again this weekend.
We were able to take my mom sailing and give her a good birthday.
For the motivation to work 40 hours despite being tired.
Having a husband who is willing to pick up the slack.
Having my last house call be right next to a place selling used books. I was able to get a paper bag full of books for $2. I found some cookbooks and tons of old self-help books. Watch out, by next year I should be new and improved while whipping up some nice dishes.
Conquering fears. As a census worker I never know what kind of situation I will be entering into. It can be intimidating and anxiety producing. So far on my first week I’ve encountered questionable dogs, stormy weather, angry/rude people, abandoned/creepy houses, and being in places were I did not feel a sense of safety. I was sent to the roughest part of town where there have been shootings. I am going door to door in a time of great fear of COVID. But more often than not, during this time I have also witnessed the goodness of strangers.
Feeling efficient and productive. Almost every day I need to ask my supervisor for more work. Sometimes I am so focused I don’t even pay attention to where I am going. The other day I was walking while I was following up with work on my phone and I ended up almost getting into someone else’s car. I went to sit down and wondered why the seats were a different color. My gosh, how embarrassing.
Tomorrow will be my first day off since starting last week. Yeah!!
Thanks for your kindness! I am learning so much. It’s been a very humbling experience and I can’t wait to have a couple minutes to share it with everyone. Thanks again Rachel! Have a good day!
We need your example in these dark days. This is a sensible project (training the brain!) yet it is also valiant.
