Off to work, to paint with a patient - watercolors and flowers, one of her dying wishes honored to help her fulfill. Then to a patient with two small boys to try to help her find a way of making sense of leaving them and establishing a connection of eternal love - life is so hard for some - my heart is always so with them. Visited a man yesterday who smoked with oxygen on and started a fire - he got burned. I spend a lot of time trying to make sense of what I see in life - sometimes I can't and sometimes I can find the gentleness in it. For that, I am grateful as I am for the balance of my own life, for its richness and beauty, for good friends to care about and share a piece of a day with, for chatter with children, and new hair cuts, and sunny days (which there seems a paucity of these days!). dale just brought me coffee, a seemingly small event, but it isn't Saturday or Sunday morning which this event is usually reserved for. Coffee on Thursday is an event for me!
