Hope

Despite the daily stresses and ridiculous in's and out's of my job, I love what I do and I can only hope that I am doing everything in my power to make a difference.  Today, I would describe as a successful defeat.  I, along with my staff, stood up for someone who had no one.  We laid it all on the line and pulled out ALL the stops, simply to be defeated.  Would I do it again tomorrow, knowing and expecting the EXACT same outcome?  Absolutely.

I will say that there is a part of me that is not satisfied.  Not satisfied that I am in my clean house, with food to eat and surrounded by a support system who loves and cares for me.  If I could only say the same for the individuals that I work with on a day to day basis, life would be a little bit lot easier!  I would be perfectly content not having a job in the field I am in, simply because it means that there is no longer a need.  Until then... I will continue to persevere, push through, fervently pray, agonize and simply HOPE that tomorrow will be a better day.


PS... Feel free to throw up a prayer or 6.  Trust me, they will not go un-used.
