sometimes i just need to reflect on something that has happened during my day to remind me that i really do love my job. and today's reflection just happens to be a little humorous that happened at my client's today:

"mooooooooooooooom, i need toilet paper, i took a dump."
as the mom rolls her eyes, confused as to why her daughter decided to use the upstairs bathroom. she yells for her daughter to hold on and proceeds to go get her the toilet paper she needs and walks it up the stairs to her. to which i hear:
"hey mom, tell liz i just took a dump."

sometimes i hear things i could have gone without hearing for the day. today's happened to be funny, but there are other days when the things i hear are sad, disheartening, disgusting, frustrating, and a whole slew of other things. but i am thankful to be blessed with a burden for others. what a privilege it is to be chosen in the way that i am.
