in three weeks, my worker who was held up twice in a matter of months went from completly phobic to becoming rather optimistic.

he greeted me, there first two times we met with impressive descriptions of his migraines. today i found him leaning back in a chair with a smile on his face.

it's wonderful what can happen when people regain a sense of agency over their lives. it's even more amazing to see what happens when 3 or 4 people decide to each give a guy a little pat in the back to help him back up onto his feet.

today is a good day, he said.
