I walked my god-daughter and her best mates to school this morning. It was great listening to talk of X-factor (apparently “Bill & Ben” are rubbish but funny), The Jonas Brothers are to die for, Pixie Lott is cool and Lady Ga Ga is just different and that’s cool too; I was annoying at times as I had to ask who some of these people were, I need to keep up but at least I supplied giggles as they rolled their eyes at my ignorance and I just enjoyed basking in their world for twenty minutes :-)

Made muffins, wholemeal bread and carrot cake for the neighbours and my aunt who lost her husband a couple of months ago. I woke up this morning and just felt like baking, it made me feel so happy and I decided I wanted to share the fruits of my labour simply because I wanted to; it was great.
I honestly think I was inspired by Tiisi and Sherlock’s enteries, so thank you.x

Now this is a difficult process, they said they had links to various organisations who take trainee counsellors, turns out this is B.S, what they meant is we’ll give you a list and you go work it out yourself.
Anyway, this has set a question in my mind, as I have to think what area and age group I want to work with; I adore children and I really like the mentoring work I am doing with the young people but I worry if I go into this area of work that I may end up relating to ‘my children’ (read god-children and relatives) diffently as I do switch off when I am not in the environment; however, counselling does alter the way you think and view the world. I like the natural way I relate to the children and I don’t want to loose that so I am thinking that perhaps working with children is not the way to go, perhaps working with teenagers will suit me better. I also like working with adults, like drug & alcohol rehab units, as I have done that before and I enjoyed it or perhaps something like relate as I think I might enjoy that…..thinking…..mmmmmm….
