Day 277

Jeanine - "Thank you"

Two simple words.

Today they had the power to restore my soul just enough.

More and more lately I feel myself getting tired of the fight...feeling like I want out of the ring.  It is harder and harder to get up for the next round, but it is difficult to know what to do next.

Tonight, after a particularly frustrating day in court, I found this card and letter from the mother of a client waiting for me back at the office.  It is dated almost a month ago - but it arrived today.  I needed it today.  I needed to be reminded that there is a reason I do what I do for a living.

I am reminded of an epitaph worth living up to ..."she used the gifts God gave her."  That is what we ought to be doing...everyday.
