appreciation

I've been telling people how intensive my job is etc. It is, and it has been a tough week. Again. Many times the last few months I got to the point that I just wanted to quit. Walk away from it all. You work hard for a crappy pay. Kids nag all the time. Being called names. Gotten kicked, bitten, slapped, stabbed.

And in the mean time it is easy to forget all the good things. I realized that some days ago. I love my job! I get so much out of it. I'm actually doing something useful. It is rewarding in itself to help people, to help some kids to get their lives going, help them stay out of -real- trouble. I get to speak Swedish. I am outside a lot. I'm developing myself, learning. Enjoy the company of my colleagues.

And then I'm only talking about my job. There is so much more to be thankful for. Being healthy, living in a 'safe' country, more than enough food to eat, a warm bed, clothes, books, a loving girlfriend, a damn bus card, forest, sea, nature, squirrels, a \m/ black \m/ guitar, ....and of course this beautiful hand-crafted longbow on her way to me.... : )
