Thoughts About The Future

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about my future. It is beyond terrifying. I need constant care, all day every day. All of us do…and yet, we are extraordinarily intelligent. We don’t belong in traditional daycare. Here at Mouth to Hand we thrive, but our budgets from Medicaid are limited. Friends are doing a variety of things after school; I am so stressed about my own future journey. 

I am utterly staggered by the conversation we just had in reaction to my first paragraph. The personal story of Judy made me totally emotional. The idea that we are given the tools to do what we are meant to do fascinates me. And the idea that at Mouth to Hand we don’t think traditionally gives me hope. I so want to do something meaningful with my life. I am suddenly feeling way more optimistic about things. 

Am I learning things now that will serve me in the future? I am sure I am. That thought is totally comforting.
