today was a little different for me. i went to the head start program in baldwin and hung out with the 3 year old class. they were precious! of all the names i heard this morning, my favorite was Le'zay'lon. he has two apostrophes. super cool!
after lunch, i went with a small group to Chez Hope. this is a battered women's shelter. i had no idea about this kind of stuff. i knew of shelters existing like this but had NEVER experienced anything like it. this one is housed in a remodeled hotel. it's fantastic. they help lots of women and children. what they needed us to do today was to sort through "my sister's closet." this is a clothes closet where the women come and can get what they need at no cost to them. we do this in psj but ours is the cadillac version of this one. at least today we cleared a path from one door to the other. it's a tangible way to see how we have helped.
it was a good day.
my quote today comes from the preschool teacher at head start (it's actually more of an experience). they were going over their daily morning activities like what the date was and what day it was and after they recited all of this, she said, "you are so smart! kiss your brain!" then they kissed their little hands and pressed their hands to their heads. it's was PRECIOUS! i'm gonna use this one later! :-)
