Hi all! Just thought I'd check-in. Been so busy with work. I'm finally feeling like I can do more than just work & sleep.
Work is good and I do get a buzz when people walk out of my office feeling better than when they walked in! Yesterday, I had a client for a second visit. She had been doing the "Buddha Belly Breathing" I've shared with you guys, and she said "It works, it really works! Most importantly, though, when I first saw her I thought she was very plain looking - so sad and dull looking. The transformation was amazing! Now she looks full of life and quite beautiful - I even thought, this girl could win a beauty pageant! So very rewarding to see such changes! And, even though we're supposed to keep at arms length from our clients, it was great to get a hug today from my severely brain injured client who is just so grateful for any help he gets. And, we think we've got troubles with 'brain fog' - I still have problems, but I count my blessings when I see what this guy is struggling with!
I'm hoping to get to present a paper at a national conference on victims of crime. Had to write an 'abstract' to send to be evaluated. My program director thinks it's pretty good so I hope the powers that be think so, too! If accepted I'll get to fly to South Australia at my companies expense! And see Adelaide and I've never been there! I've done several presentations and have several more coming up soon - some to public some to hospital social workers. Hope to get to teah police, too.
Was supposed to have my knee op in mid - March. However, I was so sick with the 'flu - 6 weeks it took to get over it & it went to my lungs as bronchial asthma. Now having op mid May. Will have to take a week off work - I'm hoping no more than that.
Did I tell you I've two new grandbabies due mid year? Daughter in Singapore and daughter-in-law here. Daughter visited just before Easter. She's small, baby's very big! This is a link to her blog:
http://www.babysonitsway.blogspot.com Was so upset because daughter caught the 'flu off me! She's ok, now, though. Daughter in law is a much bigger person & I think her babe (my grand daughter!) is smaller.
Have had my grandson stay with me several weekends in a row. Last weekend we watched as the pine trees in my back yard got cut down or pulled out. Making slow progress with my house but it has a good feel about it. Wish I could be in it much more, but I stll can't travel too much each day.
So, that's where I'm at. Doesn't seem to be much activity here on the forum. That is really sad, begause this forum has been a lifeline for so many - including me. I do think of you all, often! Love & Light!
