Sometimes caring less about stuff means you care more about others

 Today was a good day. I spent most of my energy focusing on what mattered to me: giving people a chance to feel strong and supported and satisfied in their day.

I encouraged one resident to play bingo with limited vision. All she needed was someone to point in the direction of the number to cover, and she was happy.

I took our sourpuss resident out for a walk and she remembered my name, and asked me about myself, for the first time ever. Then she thanked me afterwords in a gentle voice and I felt very very lucky.

Ok. That was all.
