And the good mood continues

I think this is a pretty unique experience for me. Feeling good for two days in a row. I actually feel quite positive today. I know that may seem a silly thing to say but honestly most days I struggle with something or another. If that makes me sound weak or pathetic, sorry but its the truth. Anyway today was good.

I spent a day with 20 adults and 21 kids at a special needs centre that our charity hires out for our members and their friends every now and again. I really really enjoyed playing with the kids and catching up with the parents. I had the opportunity to cuddle, feed and help with a 5 month old who weighs just over 2 kg and be a child again with some of the kids. I have to say it was just a really good day.

I made a decision yesterday. That I wanted to spend some time overseas in a deprived country helping children and families in need using my acquired nursing skills. Just for a couple of weeks when B is back at school after the summer holidays and before I have to go back to uni. Why not? I have some skills, at the very least I can learn quickly. And I just feel its the right thing for me to do. Let's see how that one pans out.

I really feel that the change I have made to my career path has been the right one. I know its early days yet but it feels so wonderful to be able to help those who need it or to hand out the knowledge I have so far and make a difference. I feel it enhances what I currently do for the charity.

Or maybe I am just getting more soppy in my old age!!!
