Little Blessings

Yesterday turned into kind of a different day.  I ended up working the p.m. (aide) shift, after finishing my eight hours at the front desk. 
 
My first duty was to serve snacks.  As I went into the activity room to provide nourishment to our starving residents (whose sustenance had been delayed a good half hour), I remembered that I had a tray of brownies in the freezer.  They had been sent home with us from a recent parish mission where we Sisters from St. Anne’s spoke last Monday. 
This unexpected time of serving snacks was the perfect opportunity for me to use these up and treat our residents.  I was happy for the chance to “move them along.”
 
I took several bars off the tray and onto a plate to stick in the microwave. 
 
I hope our residents enjoyed their treat as I continued my unforeseen afternoon activities.
I made it through the rest of the shift, and topped off the night by starting on a fun project (also unexpected).  I read about holding a cute pet photo contest as a fundraiser and thought it would be perfect for St. Anne’s, where I work, in honor of St. Francis’ feast day coming up. 
 
Before taking a shower and going to bed, I started setting that up.
