It is cold, dark and raining this morning but I am in a great mood today. Drill was fabulous last night and I am getting along well with the staff and really starting to bond with the kids. We are implementing most of my ideas and you can already see significant improvements in the unit. I must acknowledge that the 1st Sgt is doing an outstanding job and that makes all the difference.
I also will be working with the kids at the adolescent home soon. I am nervous about this new venture though. Many of these kids have been abused and or neglected and bear the emotional scars of their past. I hope that I have the emotional fortitude to manage what will likely be a difficult experience.
Sunday I go to my Dads for Thanksgiving. I am usually anxious about these visits but I am looking forward to this one.

So how did Thanksgiving at Dad's go?
I think that giving of yourself to kids especially those in need is a great thing. I do recognize that it can be emotionally exhausting.
I think it's great that you are going to give it a whirl.
