A Day for the Books and Higher Beings.

I always wind up postponing my writing, and then having SO much to write about.  So for now, I'll update you on the immediate, since it's.. immediately on my mind.  I'll catch you up with the hoopla of the weekend at some later date.  Although, it was very exciting, hold on to your panties till then!

Anyway.  My day. 

I was very anxious for this morning to start.. and for it to finish.  I anticipated a much more difficult, trying, frustrating few hours of appointments than what I encountered.  Alas, what I encountered, was absolutely fabulous.  I am more than relieved, and (surprisingly) more than thankful for the day I had today.

It is crazy how things work out sometimes

today is the tomorrow you will have always worried about yesterday.

I tweeted that 2 days ago.  I had no idea I would be living those words right now, in such a serious way. 

I was so concerned with how my first appointment would go, whether I would be anxious, whether my client would be anxious, how would she respond, how will she react, BLAHBLAHBLAH.  Only for it to end up with the most positive conversation about healthy lifestyle changes, habits, and behaviors, and it resulting in a request for more time with ME.  Shoot, did I FEEL GOOD. 

As a personal trainer, in any realm, it is MORE than gratifying to be asked for more time together (although our schedules don't always allow while balancing 4957239547 clients and trying to maintain a personal life).  I can't even begin to tell you how honored, happy, and fulfilled I felt at the end of this conversation. 

THEN.  (this is my favorite part of my day)  DURING MY SECOND appointment, I was given the absolute best compliment I could have EVER even thought up in this ridiculous head of thoughts. 

I work with individuals who have disabilities.  This field, and the individuals that I work with, are regularly over looked and under served.  We are not always welcomed by the public, we are not easily understood, but darn it.. we will do whatever we please.  We will be independent... and like it our not, we will be in public. 

"Welcome to a team of angels. You are truly doing the work of an angel."

And, as much as I appreciate that compliment, and it truly made my day; I wish that it wasn't necessary to look at what I do and consider it the work of a higher being.  Work that beings of this world wouldn't do, or subject themselves to. 

Think about it.

I'll leave you at that.
