I had a new thought/idea come to me today/tonight. I'm planning to switch my major to Social Work when I transfer to the University this fall and I've always wanted to do counseling, right. Well, I use to want to be a child psychologist or help and work with kids and then I shied away from that idea, but now I'm re-thinking that idea.
I don't think I want to be a child psychologist, but I do want to help and work with kids and others thus being a counselor. I was just thinking about these troubled children and youth that I work with when I volunteer once a week on Thursday nights because we hear them talk about all sorts of scary, hard things they have to deal with because their parents have problems and stuff.
Well and tonight these kids were sharing some of their experiences and feelings from some of these scary situations and I just wanted to hug them all and make all this hard, bad stuff they have witnessed go on between their parents go away. It also brought to mind some of what I went through when I was married and abused and once again I was thinking how glad and grateful I am that I never had a child with my ex-husband because that would have been a mess.
Anyway, I was trying to think what else could I maybe think about doing sometime in the future that would help all these troubled and hurt children in this world. I will be helping with being a counselor and doing social work with adoptions and well, a little bit of everything, but I was just thinking what else could I do and thought of adopting an older child/children someday in the future after I'm married, possibly.
I also thought about the fact that I think I might like to check out being a foster parent and doing foster care someday after I'm married and everything. So, that's a ways away, but just a relatively new thought/idea that I had come to me tonight that in my past I wouldn't have even wanted to think about ever being into foster care, but now I think I'm more open to that idea, if my future husband was and we felt/found the right time in our lives to do foster care if we both wanted to and felt comfotable etc. and so on then I would probably do it :).
Anyway, I'm falling asleep here, trying to type so I'm gonna go crash in bed so I can get up and get to school tomorrow morning. I just cleaned my birdies cage a while ago too and while I was cleaning Zorro escaped just like Zeke did one time and so we had to chase Zorro around a bit before we could catch him and get him back in the cage - silly birds :p.
Well, I'm off to dreamland before I pass out on the keyboard here lol. I hope you all have a good day/nights rest and I'll talk to ya laters.
Goodnight and God Bless.
