Every day is Vital

It's funny these days, the perspective you gain. Funny in the way of "like, how did I not see this before?" funny.

I find I’m doing vital work each day, every single day I think in my head what I accomplished and who I interacted with and lately every single day has been an astounding, yet sometimes exhausting 10/10.

I'm not going to pretend that my job is as vital as any of our frontline workers, but I don't think vitalness is black or white.

I believe if you are doing work that helps others, you are doing vital work.

Work that helps others is sometimes easy.

However, the last 4-6 weeks I've learned that it can also, in extraordinary circumstances it can be reallllllly hard.

But then, the first thing I think of is that my extraordinary circumstances are someone else's ordinary ones. The next thing in my brain is exactly this: I'm f*&king grateful for my circumstances.

So, this has come full circle... and you know what's still important? That you are damn lucky to be wherever you are. And that any work you're doing - if it's helping others, is vital.

Now, because it's Friday... go enjoy your weekend with your family.

But when Monday comes, get to work.
