rubensredd's blog post - The "why" in life.

Saturday, January 12, 2013, 10:47:35 PM
So I try really hard not to dwell on the the "why" is this happening to me....when I fall into shit.
By the way: I am one of those folks that falls into shit and smells like shit....not like a rose.
So the past 9 days have SUCKED! My hours were cut at work...I was demoted....I have had no hits on my resume/applications yet....
ANYWAY...I work in a nursing home...I have been in middle management for the last 15 months...I was demoted to an aid on the floor....you know the job I did when I was 20yrs old. Don't get me wrong....I LOVED IT...but it is hard on the body....lots of running and lifting....I'm too fucking old for that.
BUT I had 2 residents today...tell me that when they heard I was on the floor as an aid they prayed that I would be assigned to them. So I know the "why". For some reason I was sent to take care of those ladies that asked for me.
I'm so sore today I have barley move. My feet hurt and my back aches...but those 2 ladies make me forget about it.

I like how you ended the blog with "the ladies" They do need you. Your job is not an easy one....not by far. I commend you for helping those who are too weak to help themselves.

That in itself has to make you feel good Rubes. I always feel so sorry for the people in them homes but just the mere fact they wanted you with them goes to show you what sort of caring person you are and that you make a difference in someone else's life
