Thanks to all the folk who are my 'clients'...

I was thinking today just how much I've learned from the amazing people I work alongside. I've described them as 'clients' in the title, but, of course, it's only the professional relationship which requires this distinction - I see you as people actually (hence the quotation marks). When I hear about the crap you deal with daily; the tragedies and heartbreak you struggle to deal with - when I witness this, and see you dust yourselves down, join together and get on with life, I am humbled and inspired. I think about you, and sometimes worry about you too. I am not eloquent enough to find the words that express the power of how I feel when I think about this community - a group of people often brought together by hard times/events, but definitely not defined by it. I can't find the words, but I trust you know that my sentiments are heartfelt and completely genuine.

Sharing some quality time...

Someone gave me their time...
Thank you to the friend who gave their time to me today. You were excellent company and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
