Attitude

Victor Frankl a survivor of Nazi concentration camp says, "The last of the human freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances." If you just think about it, this is so true. I first heard of Victor years ago working with Taco Bueno and this past month I was struggling with my attitude and I just happened to run across this little book about Victor. It certainly helped me get through some days this month. I never thought that Jan could become the abuser, but I guess if she doesn't understand what she is doing and remains in a state of confusion for most of the day, I can understand and not be a reactive person. It really makes you appreciate people that work diligently everyday in nursing homes, and assisted living centers. I pray that we will only find such people wherever we relocate in the future. I know that there are others who are not so compassionate and I don't want to work with them. I don't know what the future holds and neither does the doctor. Everyone is so different. All I know is that I don't have the training to handle this type of environment and the pressure is building to seek more professional help.
