I’ve had a pretty rough couple of weeks this month and I haven’t been in the best possible mood. I normally try to suck it up and not show how I’m feeling on the outside but being pregnant in the summer, in Atlanta, is no joke. When I walked through the front door this morning, limping from some sort of pregnancy related symptom, one of many, a client looked at me and told me to smile and that whatever it was it couldn’t be that bad. I turned around and smile at him and told him he was absolutely right. He kind of put me in my place, in a polite way. As much as our clients have to deal with here at Samaritan House, like addiction, disability and homelessness, if he can be here smiling then I should be grinning from ear to ear. I guess it made me realize that regardless of the situation he was in he was just happy to be here and that inspired me to limp around the office for the rest of the day smiling because my current pain will make way for my greatest joy and if that’s not worth smiling about, I don’t know what is.
Have a great day!
