Well I finally decided to leave the world of addictions ladies and gentleman. I was tired of dealing with very ungrateful people. Have you ever met someone with an addiction? Oh wow are they not fun to counsel. No offense to anyone who likes drugs! LOL. I just couldn't hang anymore.
So I was blessed enough to find a new job working for a place called Oxnard Family Circle. It is an adult day health care and I have been there 3 days and love it more than the 2 years I put in working with addicts. I am basically working with mentally challenged and elderly adults who come to hang out for the day and have fun.
An example of my work day:
We went on an outing for 3 hours the other day and took the elderly on a trip to the Ventura County Visitors Center where we looked around and then sat on the picnic tables and ate Subway and then back to the Center we go.
They have Bingo/ Dance Parties/ Arts and Crafts and all kinds of things for the elderly. Have you ever seen a little old woman or man break it down? Well let me say it makes your heart melt.
Needless to say the environment is way different and how could it not make your life better to make the elderly happy by being there for them and saying good morning!
Be a better person..... do something that is rewarding in life.
