It's been a long day today.
Mostly because I didnt get to sleep till close to 6AM and woke at 9:30.
I went to a workshop today on behalf of my clients.
The workshop was on goals. There was only about 10 of us
It was very interesting as it was held in the same building which I formerly worked at for 4 years.
The workshop was held in the kitchen. (hmm prob should call it a school like caf but we call it the kitchen) and it use to be this very long room with about 6 long tables and when I went in today, there was a wall where there previously wasnt. They ended up splitting up the room, making one half a confrence room.
Anywho, the person who put this workshop together, who use to come to my work once a month but got a higher position and now comes like maybe quarterly, but either way, she has seen me run groups and she had brought it to some comittee's attention and I quote "they could be udilizing you more" as she explained, (but I knew already) the house I work at, is the only "closed house". From 9AM-3PM the house is closed. All the other houses in the company are opened 24-7 365.25. Meaning, clients dont all attend programs and she thinks I could go in and run a group, help them learn how to socialize, how to do what ever it is which I teach-run groups on. I told her that I am very interested and she said that she will bring it up at the next committee meeting on Tuesday so... woo, maybe I'll end up with more than 4 hrs a week.
All it takes is just one person to see what you can do and to have the power to push for you.
So...we'll see.

Karen wrote this poem. didnt say who she was thinking of but was showing it to me parts of it as she was going and kept getting writers block but finally finished it. I love it and I told her that it's beautiful, care-free, romantic and loving. Actually, the first thing I said was "are those my words or yours? it sounds like a poem I would write" However, when I came to the end, I felt it needed one last line. It needed a closure. I told her so and asked if I could write one line and she wrote that I could add what ever I felt it needed, so the last line is my little bit of a contribute. She loves my contrabution and thought herself that it needed a closure but didnt know what so... here's Karen's poem.
Friends forever
would be lovers
Fate's favorite pawns
dance in circles
always hiding
what our true feelings are
A simple glance
a slightest touch
little hints give us away
we cannot run
we cannot hide
what we hold deep inside
Shatter barriers
breaking rules
pushing limits to the max
a kiss here
a caress there
you take my breath away
Hold me close
don't let me go
whisper sweet nothings in my ear
tangled thoughts
I've fallen hard
and you're the one to blame
A whispered secret
you stole my heart
it is yours to keep
and now I know
because of you
I am in too deep.
And that's the way I want it to be
