This week has been astounding. I mean seriously astounding. I’ve always enjoyed working on others with a life challenge and I’ve gotten plenty of that this week. It was also quite fulfilling to assist them in getting around the hotel.

For those who haven’t heard, this week was the convention for the National Federation for the Blind. It was amazing to see the ends, to which, the hotel went to accommodate these people. Hundreds of seeing eye dogs, people trying to make their way around, yelling at a person they couldn’t find. Just watching these people make their way around a complicated hotel was just inspiring. They have a lifestyle that many would shun them for, as a client of mine’s friend suffered, yet they are still joyful!

Today, I almost yelled at kids and parents of Taekwondo competitors. I walked several of the NFB attendees over to the childcare room, and they were practicing forms and almost hitting these people after I said to stop, so we could walk through. I found it quite disconcerting and rude, and the parents just added to it. *sigh*

I greatly appreciate being around other people who can understand where I’m at, I feel comfortable with them, even though they don’t understand why I stand with them.

One of these days, I’ll be comfortable with myself.
