The way it is

Hello. It's Monday morning and my plans to interpret today got cancelled again. I guess it'll be a professional development day. I wish I could go to the library, but it's President's Day. Boo. Everything's closed.

Other than that, things with me have been interesting. Frustrating. I'm pretty set on staying in Philadelphia. I think it may be the wrong choice, but I feel like it's the only one I can make. *shrug*

Yesterday was Deaf Church. My third time being there. And it was the best time so far. The people are starting to be familiar and conversation comes just a bit easier.

The other thing that has been good is seeing my friend Mary. I've been able to voice some of my fears and frustrations to her, not looking for answers or solutions, but just able to say them aloud and therefore release some of their power. It was healing. And we laughed and made plans for our lives well into our 80s. And I could breathe. It was nice. = )

Well Mercy,
I've been on an internship and for the first few weeks, I hated it and thought I would die from depression, anxiety or whatever you want to call it. But it did get better and I hope it will for you too. You are a strong & confident woman and you can do this! (Say that to yourself in the mirror.)

Email me if you want to ask more questions. I'm getting ready to go on spring break, so I might not respond right away, but I will.

Take Care, Sandy
