I begin again.

Sometimes I get so far away from my reality I get lost somewhere – this time it was in the past. A past that no one can change to make it any better, and I forget that I can only live today. I forget how wonderful my family and friends are. I forget how much I enjoy my work.

But today I remember, and am able to begin again.

I start a new student in cognitive training today. This thrills me to no end! I love working with a student, learning about them while they learn how to learn. I love watching for the incremental signs of improvement, no matter how small, so that I can say “look at that! You couldn’t do that yesterday, but now you can! How good for you!” And I get to see that child smile with confidence. Yup I love working with students.

Other things are coming together today and this week also. I am seeing my new website design today; I am seeing the new menus for the Pyramid of Potential DVDs this week. I have the time and energy to start the research project on primitive reflexes soon. I have some volunteer work to do – finalize food vendors for the Peace Fair in September, and search for potential board members for Family and Child Service of Schenectady.

Yup, it is a good day, a new beginning.
