It's the little things in life that make it all worthwhile. Today I went to class, made plans to go to MCC in the fall, went to a meeting, tutored the students, met with my MHAP (Mental Health Apartment Program) counselor, submitted a piece for publication, fixed the problem of my check not coming on the 25th, fixed my internet issues (okay, the nice techs at time warner did that), met with my sponsor, and bought toliet paper- the good kind. There will be none of that cheap stuff for my roomie and I this month. :-)
I feel very acomplished, and tired. But really, isn't it those small victories that matter most? The moment a student gets it for the first time.... or watching your computer connect to the internet for the first time in days. Making a step forward, a difference, or just doing the next right thing- it all helps me to sleep at night. Or rather, the things that help me to get up in the morning.
