it´s a good feeling to know

It´s 5:00pm here at the Hogar. I just got out of my English class with Yanet, Nayda, Vicentina, and Delia. When I was trying to get class started, the girls were arguing and yelling at each other. I told them that if they were going to fight they had to do it in English (thinking that this would somehow make them stop). So Nayda yelled out, ¨Shit!¨ Everyone laughed, and the fighting did actually stop. I love Nayda.

I was sick this weekend...something I ate. So I spent the past few days in my bed. It felt so good to be back at work today. These girls bless me so much. I spend so much time overthinking stuff and worrying about things. And then here they are...ready to show me so much love and joy...simple. It´s overwhelming at times...to see so much life and joy around me...and then to be able to laugh along with them and feel their unrestrained hugs. It doesn´t give me a chance to doubt it or pick it apart. It´s just right here in front of me...consuming my senses. I think I´m addicted.
