I’m struggling to write. The day was filled with such emotion from one end of the spectrum to the other:
Extreme gratitude to Darryl for supervision today and helping me open another world.
Complete frustration with a colleague, at a country that is cutting off its nose to spite its face. A mental health system being destroyed by Bureaucracy when the population is exploding with more mental health issues than ever before. *fact sheet below
Utter despair when I see how people in cars have no consideration for others – each wrapped in their o
wn tiny bubble. So disconnected….
Pure exhaustion – run down, ragged… weekends aren’t enough. I look forward to Mexico.
A bit of nervousness: faces I knew, was friends with, faces from the last 9 years. So many stories, memories (good and bad).
Bittersweet sorrow – My eyes poured water as I saw the picture of Ethan’s first ice cream 
cone when he was a toddler and how it morphed to the kid he is today.
Today my son graduated 8th grade. I’m so honored to be his mother.
