#2 - Today I went with my coordinator to meet a new family I will be working with. Usually these meetings are a little uneasy, someone is letting strangers come into their home and explain a program that may or may not work for them. Everyone is a bit on guard. Today's mom however was so open and talkative and something that usually takes about 20 minutes took 45. I almost cried as she shared her experience. And was it a coincidence she had a throw pillow that said something like, "Gratitude is what makes what you have enough"?
#3 - She spoke to us in English, but the primary language of the household is Spanish, so when I texted her to confirm our first visit tomorrow I did it in Spanish, and that is how she replied.
#4 - Earlier today I was listening to "A Reminder" by Trevor Hall on repeat. This evening it was "Watching the Whole Sky Change" Lockeland Strings featuring Maya de Vitry
#5 - "I believe the desire to please you, does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing."
