I am gearing up for our Self Advocacy Conference on Saturday, April 4th. This is a very busy time for me -- getting everything ready and this year I am missing my assistant. And there are so many events in Boston to commemorate some of the great work we've all been doing -- feel like I should just get a commuter pass.
I love what I do. I love feeling like what I do is important in the lives of others. But I am tired and into my pre-conference crankies.
Folks in my office know to stay away from me this time of year. That's a good thing.
And the death of Natasha Richardson really threw me last night. It was an oh, so not subtle reminder of the fragility of life and a reminder to take time to value and appreciate all we have. Especially the ones we love. Just wish I had the time.
Yikes!

This is such an historic time in Massachusetts with the state schools closing and the Department of Mental Retardation finally changing their name.
ReplyDeleteYou do great work and are a part of an amazing time. I can cope with the crankies - as long as they don't hang around too long.
Life is fragile which is why it is important to tell those we love how we feel.
You are loved.
