(Pin curls in action again - I love how easy they are)
Took this photo when I headed out for work the other day. I spend a *lot* of time in the car for my job, but I really do love it. I am probably one of the luckiest people in the world to have the job I do.
I get to help families of children with mental illness... families like mine. I get to support them, be their friend, help them however I can, and advocate for them and what matters to their family. I get to make my own hours, work from home a lot of the time, and have enough flexibility to still be there for my own family. The company I work for is run by parents of children with mental illness, and values its employees (it shows). I make a fair wage in a terrible economy, and can see my future in this career. I never take that for granted.
A lot of hours get clocked on this long road between my home and theirs. It gives me time to think, to count my blessings, to remember how lucky I am to have a car to drive, and a job to work at, and a family at home with me to love.
