Hmmm, I have to say that what keeps me going is the good part of my work when I can be there for someone or help them in a concrete way and they are thankful and tell me that I made a difference. or, it's the stranded people on the side of the road or the animal I find and pick up and reunite with it's owners. The other day I spent several hours with a woman whose spouse has dementia and had earlier become violent. Not like him. So I was there problem solving and being a safe presense and she said thank you so much for staying here and setting things up for me and she gave me a hug. That was so cool. And he is okay and I have the right person in there now to help. That makes it worth it to me. I know that I have a reason to be here.
