I think I have recovered from this weekends activities. It has been a while since I counseled at a midwinter retreat... I had this idea in my mind that I didn't really like counseling them... I think I was wrong... I think I had the idea that they were a big jumble of confusion... not enough time to really get anything out of it... I was wrong.
I decided going in that I was going to participate... In the past I skip out on Ice Breakers (getting to know you games)... this weekend I decided to participate, and you know what? I had fun.
I have come to realize that I was just blowing stuff out of my ass.... I separate myself from the group when I don't participate... that's not good when you are counseling - I know there's times when you have to step away, but I was stepping out of things just because I didn't like them... but it turns out that I do like them... maybe it's time to rethink things...
Yesterday I taught both of my classes. I did laundry and watched the Inauguration... I also stopped by to see the puppies... not too thrilling of a day but it was alright.
The rest of the week looks to be pretty much the same as always. Later in the week is a care conference for my Dad. I'm going to try to go to it so I can be in the loop as to what is happening with him. It will also give me a chance to see him. Next weekend is shaping up to be a bit busy and I might not get a chance to stop by. (that is I will go if my cold does not get worse)...
This is a photo of me from this weekend... I also found out this weekend that High School students are really impressed when old people do head stands... It turns out it doesn't take much to please them.
