Being Of Service

I had a day of staff meetings and talking of political concerns, interspersed with some talk of the clients.  I was reminded of how easy it is to get wrapped up in the drama of political concerns and begin to neglect the clients.  At one point, I found myself saying, “always remember that your job is to serve the children”, meaning to serve the clients not other staff.  I need to remember that love, connection and relationships are important and not get lost in distractions and drama.
