lets have a chill night not an ill night

ok all--get ready for some serious lingo shifts. day one of working with teens complete is clear to me that i no longer have any idea what anyone under the age of 18 is talking about. i sense a steep learning curve coming. i think i need a pull up (and no this is not the next step in diapers before training as i thought). anyway, just wanted to check in and say hello. really enjoyed my first night of work and feel grateful and inspired. working with young people again makes me remember all of the things i love about them--mostly though it is just how real they are and how in transition their entire lives are. it is a real gift (in my opinion) to be able to know a person at this point in their lives--when they are so vulnerable and then also wise. i hope i can learn from them and somehow be able to offer them something in return too. recovery is so cool if for no other reason then i get to do cool things like this with my nights. hope you all are finding cool things to do too. xxk
