Been that long! Well, the practicum is finished, group counselling techniques have begun, forgot my passwords on everything, so I guess it's been a bit :-D
I hope this finds you, dear reader, well. I had a wonderful ten weeks working under supervision in my new, chosen career: counselling and psychotherapy. I don't know how things will work out for the future. I don't know how things will work out for the next few weeks, but I am reminding myself that life is a joy and it should be lived joyously!
My reminder came in the form of a tragic note I got the other day: A colleague is dying of cancer. It kills me that we can spend so much money on modern medicines and still be so relatively clueless when it comes to cancer. I know a lot of good people--including my university mate Dr Steve Dubinett of UCLA--are working on cures. But considering the money we spend on wars, real and imagined, one would think we could slice off a bit of that budget to help find a cure for this scourge!
But I was speaking of joy . . . I am honouring my friend by thinking of all the joys he brings to life. Even in his dying hours, he teaching so many of us to value the life we have; the life we lead. I started remembering that again this week after getting very "down" about things. I want to publicly thank him for this reminder.
It is well with my soul, really. And I know things are well this his, God love him.
In Peace [which passes all understanding].
