I feel like I have been somewhat neglectful of this blog recently. Life has just been so incredibly busy and I am trying to pack up my flat a bit and get things a little more organised. The Mister came down this weekend and helped me out with this, mainly with moving some of the stuff I don't need to a friends garage. It is amazing how much crap it is possible to shoehorn into a small space. Every single corner had crap in it! So far I have put 5 bin bags full of stuff into the bin and 5 bin bags to a charity stuff, and a pile of stuff on ebay. I think I am getting there though, but it is tiring, and boring!!
Other than packing this weekend The Mister and I went to the christening of one of my client's daugther. It was such a pleasure to be able to share this experience with her and her family, and to see just how far she has come in her recovery. Moments like these are what make doing the job worthwhile. Seeing people retrieve their lives and make something out of themselves is undeniably pleasurable and so satisfying. I am so proud of her, as I am of all my clients who manage to pull themselves out of the disasters they have often made for themselves. Seeing her up there with her beautiful little girl, and her son with whom she has recently resumed contact, makes me so proud to have been part of her life. It makes work bearable, as well as making it hopeful.
