AMAZING

That is the only word I can use to describe my internship.  It started out rocky but ended up with a job offer.  I must have done something right.  When I was debating on an internship my Program Manager (my boss's boss's boss) encourage me to do my internship with CPS and take a stipend.  It would have been a lot of money but it would have also meant a year commitment AFTER graduation.  Which means at the earliest I would be at the state until August 2012.  I am not saying that I won't be there then I hope not but I want the opportunity to leave without having to pay the state.  There are some things that are in the works that may prove my internship more valuable then we ever ever imagined. 

  I love the social workers and the case managers.  I am glad that I get to keep working there although not every week like I was before.

Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
