Life is not fair
I decided to try something different this year. Working in mental health is challenging on many levels. I am a creature of habit. I strive on trying to educate people how to stay in the moment, and work through negative energy with a positive mindset, right? I got this call a month ago from a father who is a minister, if I would be interested in doing one of my groups for teenagers who are in custody. The minister wanted a group on turning your life around using God as the guide. I thought it about it, and decided I would try to cover this (Higher Power is very important) for these young people who made a mistake. I got to the group, in our first blizzard of 2018. Tuned in my badge at the old post office, which is now a jail and met the minister in the waiting room. He then gave me a two page outline of all kinds of scripture for my group. I thanked him for his this. He seemed puzzled at this point. I could see his eyes searching for my notes, or outline, maybe even a piece of paper filled with scribbled thoughts! I looked at him, and pointed to my head. The bailiff walked me to my room, and the minister followed. There were five young man eagerly awaiting this writer. It was a great group. Sometimes these turn into train wrecks fast with this population. I'm walking out, seeing how much snow we got, (remember it was blizzard) and I thank the minister. He looks at me, and appeared was waiting for me to say something else. I looked back, and quietly said, "stay positive, your son will learn how to make it in there". He then replied, "life is not fair, but he needs to learn how to control his anger". Stay in your health, stay in the moment. Self-Balance-Higher Power-Fun
