Still Waiting

This deployment continues to drag on and on.  The promise was "this will be a short one mom".  I suppose it was his way of shielding me from the truth.  He's become quite good at that as the deployments come faster and last longer than ever before. I'll be leaving in less than 12 hours on a plane to Utah to provide services as a therapist to the Wounded Warrior Project Camp Odyssey. Adventure Programming will be the push that I need to get out of my comfort zone. It will make me feel good to do something with my skill set and allow me to learn from my new teachers............................the warriors themselves.  Adventure programs are effective because they utilize personal development and growth through experiential learning. The warriors will be coached to set goals and create action plans.  A social worker's dream.
