It sometimes is very hard to explain the things I "enjoy" - I occasionally describe my work/life as "making people cry" which seems bizarre. But I feel most content when I get to notice how good it is to just be with whoever I'm with at that moment. Particularly if they are in a good mood too, obviously. But also when they are struggling with whatever it is and I feel lucky enough to be there - not to fix it, but just to be there so they are not on their own with it. I'm not so good being alongside people when they're ill - boyfriend has been up every mins throughout the night. So I couldn't be a nurse and greatly admire how they get alongside folk in times of need - I still feel enormous gratitude to the lovely one who stoked my head as I came round from my op last year.
We watched Made in Dagenham (a second time for me) last night and the power of solidarity is inspiring. I hope you get to spot today just how many people stand alongside you in solidarity, and that you also grasp as many opportunities as you want to, to show your solidarity with others. Peace sisters/brothers :D
Lots of chances to listen to folk today. I'm tired tho now after such a disturbed night's sleep. I have one overtired child back from camp and another due back soon after a weekend of sleepovers. What are the chances of us all having a pleasant evening then an early night? Or will there be rows over who watches what on the tele/what homework still needs doing...
