"What we would like to do is change the world­ - to make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do. And we can change the world: we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world." (dorothy day) what a long, strange week it's been. my clients have been intense, and my supervisor (and friend) had a miscarriage. there has been little time to keep up with the paperwork requirements - instead, the focus has been on the actual social work, resulting in a weekend of catching up at the office. we did take a little break last night, though. it started with a happy hour to celebrate/mourn my coworker megan's leaving the agency, followed by a date with daniel to see "a lot like love" at easton, our local materialism mecca. i'm not a big ashton kutcher fan, but this film is really very sweet. the characters were funny and realistic, and amanda peet looks like my old roommate, amy mcdonald chapman. (where are you, amy?) today is all work, though, with a little blog break thrown into the mix. i've already done two home visits, and now i'm writing risk assessments. the day started in a lovely fashion, though, as my lovely husband made a crazy good omlette and his own spontaneous fry-bread. yum. the rest of the day will continue to be full, though - my goal is to get a ton done (and to make the house spotless) and then rest and play all day tomorrow, without a care in the world. back to assessing. in the meantime, though, read this book. you won't be sorry!
