I had a great day at work today, my second day. First we did stretching exercises to Frank Sinatra.
"Frankie!" one woman said. "I love him."
Later I set out real apples and gave everyone little cups of red, blue, yellow, and green tempera paints.
From such simple elements, people did wildly different paintings.
Here are two of them:
Then I accompanied three people to a church service on a different floor. I asked one of them if I could sit next to her, and she said, "Of course! I love you and I'd love you to sit next to me."
"I love you too," I said.
I feel it already--the heartbreak that attends this kind of work.
Also, the exhaustion. I was on my feet the whole time, always trying to attend to several different people with different needs.
But all in all, it was a fun day and I'm really happy with this work.
