I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

It is such important work that you do, WindSparrow. The people you care for are so fortunate, and deserving, to receive your compassionate care.

It's Friday, and June already. How is this year going by so quickly? I remember Mom saying that the years are like a toilet paper roll in that they go faster and faster as you get older. Well, thanks for being right again there mother.

Thank you, thank you. We went out to a Brazilian steak house for lunch, and I guess I'm not allowed to go right into a meat coma, but it's tempting.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That sounds like a properly indulgent birthday lunch, Dana! Hope the rest of the day is happy for you!

Laura, thanks.

The thing is, they are just people, they just want to live their lives, go to work, do their stuff, have some fun, have some friends, have some love in their lives. Yes, I care about these folks deeply. And so very yes, this job plays to my strengths and makes my ADHD weaknesses easy to work around. They aren't inspiring, I'm not a hero. We both walk and/or make use of mobility devices. We both talk and/or communicate without words. We both shop. We both sneeze. We both fight fires when the floods roll back.

But anyone who spends as much time singing, dancing, and laughing at work as I do, has a pretty good job.

ETA, I hope my tone here is not overbearing or harsh. I'm trying to be lyrical about the joy of the ordinary here.

That is beautiful to read, Andi.

Mmmm, Dana. That sounds like a very nice birthday lunch.
