doing what i do

here am i:

i have a good job.

i can tribute my new found skill of cement mixing to my career

it's top on the list of things i have learned since becoming a recreation therapist

(as you can see, my skill is not yet perfected. every time i mix cement i find myself covered in it as well. i feel fine about it. i seem to be wearing the exact same jeans each time, too. it always washes out)

people often ask me about my job because it's not a well known thing

i like talking about it

they then say how lovely and fun it must be

and it is.

but i think it might be like being a parent:

lots of work

lots of planning

and lots of emotion

but it's those glimmering little moments when you see someone GET IT

that make it all worth it

and that's what makes me love it!

it's a wonderful experience to be working

(and guess what? i have even been a part of inspiration to a girl i work with; she's decided to go into rec. therapy because of what she has seen in the house i work in! rock on.)
