Where I work it is busy and taxing. Yet I know that at least for right now, I am supposed to be there. That knowing makes all the difference. Each day I spend washing dishes, dolling out medicine, feeding the residents and doing their laundry has purpose beyond the fact that these maybe the most mundane tasks. I want to laugh, because I realize how important it is that I can actually DO those things! I can tie my own shoes and brush my own teeth! I can walk on my own and get out of bed, things I have taken for granted my whole life thus far. The little things are to be cherished to be sure, but there are the big things that I see differently too.
