There are only miracles, Bliss, and to one degree or another they all soothe, pamper, and enrich. However, to avoid blowing too many minds at once, some are disguised as unpleasant surprises, botched circumstances, and twisted acquaintances that can rarely be seen for who or what they truly are until the pendulum has fully swung.
Yes... don't I think of everything?

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day,to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight,and never stop fighting.
~ E.E. Cummings
Not sure if I have anything to write today.
Yes I have. Today a client completed 26 days. This is a miracle. She has been in before and didn't complete the programme. And this time she came in for just 2 weeks and nearly left every other day. Somehow we worked with her and she has really brought about monumental changes. I was pissed off today though as one of my colleagues who seems to be losing the plot slightly was very judgemental towards her. And with this was in my opinion not so therapeutic with her. The challenge was fair but did not take into consideration her dual diagnosis. My colleague did not see the wonder of this person. She is simply one of the loveliest and funniest people without any arrogance or indignance. Wow! She is a survivor.
I did something I never ever do. I have her my telephone number and said that if she was in trouble or needed support she could call me. She seemed amazed which wasn't the purpose. I already received just the loveliest of texts from her.
She is a marvel. I have been very fortunate this year to encounter some real treasures of people through my work. People who will forever be cherished in my heart. Everyone is special to me but some are more special than others. I try not to show any favouritism. I truly hope to exemplify an equality for all clients. There are some I don't like so much. Some who are still within the cycle of hellfire addiction within their sobriety. There are evil streaks in people and that always indicates to me that addiction or some process lives on in them. Or sometimes it is an attitude of indifference towards others - self centredness. Addiction breeds selfishness and self centredness.
I witness miracles working through people on a daily basis. How very, very lucky I am.
I have a concern. JH.
My concern is that he will now be afraid of stating openly what he is doing with whom. For example this evening he went to a gig and said he was going with the father of his daughters friend. It turns out her mother was there. I suspected this. JH told me he went with the father and mother and it sounded all spontaneous.
Perhaps it was but I think JH will be hesitant to speak openbly and honestly. Now this is where boundaries can make a person feel confident and comfortable whatever they are doing with whom.
SH and I were putting together a workshop on boundaries. We have a lecture but both of us prefer to use the time in a workshop style than delieering lecture style information. So we took the bare bones of the already prepared lecture and started working on firstly definining boundaries and establishing where they come from and what informs them. We were describing the ripple effect and how different people are permitted to be closer or kept further away from our centre.
