I love my job at WCALF in Redding. And have been doing it for some time. Often when I am talking to people about what I do, I often say things I have learned from your teachings. I continue to love my job and carry it with me always. I despise hate speech and to the people in my life it is very evident. One time I was at a sports event with a daughter-in-law and her family. The lovely caring woman next to me used the "R" word in an angry comment yelled at the referee. Before I could stop myself, I had smacked her on the arm and said VERY directly, "don't use that word. It's hate speech and it hurts people." I looked at our daughter-in-law and she was laughing so hard. You see it was her mother I had smacked. She said to me, "When I heard mom say that I just waited, because I knew what was coming next." I have not tolerance for any form of bullying. I will pray that things you love to do will soon open up and you will be able to go out and do some of those things. However, I think getting comfortable at home hits most of us with age. I have watched many of the elders in my life end up being more comfortable at home and not going out much. Relax and do what ever you feel like doing. You have made your mark on the whole words and made it a better place. If you get bored, email me and we can Zoom with some of the Peer Instructors. Also, there is an Advocacy Zoom on Thursdays, if you are interested email me and I'll send you the contact information. The world can still benefit from your wisdom.<br /> Cindi Freshourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420318752036054238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-23006848284271557272021-06-11T19:11:48.164-04:002021-06-11T19:11:48.164-04:00You are an amazing man.
