What a week!!!!

Do you ever get a week where everything is nutso? Well, I am very solution focused. Sorry I am a tad behind in my writing to you. One day was spent trying to figure out how to waste my time by trying to find my second vaccine which was not available though the press said it was. Another day was spent trying to make Revenue Canada happy. Fortunately I keep everything for 10 years, but how do I deliver all that out East? I never procrastinate. I believe in getting things done now, so it does not load up. This is why I sleep like a baby. How did that phrase start? Anyhow, my first experience with the vaccine was rather smooth. I went on line, signed up and ended up going where there is lots of free parking. I entered the line where people were squabbling and a fireman was loud enough to make the trees shake. Then there was a younger fireman more gently telling the elderly ladies that everyone would get in. I went for a walk and returned in time for my cue. I went in, all was organized and I showed my expired health card about five times and the print out of my appointment, once I believe. I saw another fireman vaccinating people and wondered who was at the station in case of a fire? I wouldn't mind being taken out of a building by a fireperson but getting a needle by one? Fortunately, I was sent to a woman and still wondering I asked how long she was giving needles? She said she had experience before attending for COVID. "Are you a nurse?" I asked hopefully. "I am a doctor," she replied. I breathed a sigh of relief. She then talked about what a beautiful day it was, attempting to distract me from the fatal shot. Of course I played along and said it was certainly a beautiful day as the needle pricked my arm. I thanked her and was informed I would not be getting a chocolate bar when I asked (Saw on the news that they were getting nice chocolate bars during the first days)went to sit down while I watched another woman being rude to one of the workers. I have my second date confirmed, however when the news told us we could get our second shot sooner and book on line if we received our first shot before a certain date, which I did, was a mess when I attempted that. I would share that but I have to prepare to work. So, I hope I am forgiven for being late this week. Hopefully things will get back to normal sooner rather than later.

The Internet Murders - continues http://silvaredigonda.ca

The paramedics soon arrived, and everyone moved out of the way to give them space to work on the woman, who was swiftly provided with proper bandaging and moved into the ambulance headed to St Michael’s hospital. Cory answered all the questions asked by the black officer, who looked too sophisticated and polite to be in the police uniform. “Just call me Philip. Do you mind if I call you Cory?” Cory didn’t mind. He was tired and confused. The short officer went to talk to Cory’s friends, who were starting to sober up because of what they had witnessed, but remained too confused to make any sense of the night. “Can you describe him?” Philip asked. “No, it was too dark, just a flash.” It didn’t take long to be obvious that none of the information was helpful except that it had to be a man or a powerful woman to send the girl flying out the door. Tomasso finished off with the stripper drunks. He looked up at the entrance to the building and began looking for cameras. Nothing. How could there not be a surveillance camera in this day and age? How does that happen? He[…]” Excerpt From: Silva Redigonda. “The Internet Murders.” iBooks.

Families in Cinically Unsafe Environments

It has been quite busy, so much so, that my poor book has taken a stand still. I mentioned I would be attending another seminar and this time I won’t be able to share. It had all to do with on line therapy and it was very interesting but the speaker made it quite clear that there is no sharing, so I shall say sorry but my lips are sealed. I attended another webinar that I haven’t talked about yet. It was with the American Association of Family Therapy. The speaker was Dr Gwyn Daniel. Gwyn is a Jewish woman and sympathizes with the Palestinians. She works overseas and has been trained as a social worker. Her husband is a professor. She stated that Palestinians need permission to build but permission is rarely given, so they build and then soldiers can come and demolish it. She spoke of a new group called Defence of Children International. It’s a project of giving children agency. Children (usually 14-16 years of age)can interview other children about their lives and feed it back to a children’s parliament. She said that there are many Israeli’s who do not support what is happening. She spoke of Palestinians who feel shame for not being able to protect their children who can be taken. Her work is done in Gaza so since she can’t go there, work is often via Skype. She provided the history within the Middle East. I won’t go into the history which can easily be found on line. One of the therapists who attended asked her if she takes sides or is neutral? Her response was how as a therapist do you stay open? In social justice, she stated, you cannot stay neutral but you can be open to different narratives. She used domestic violence as an example. We stand against the domestic abuse to protect the victim but also to understand how this occurred. What are my views? Well, I worked in the Middle East and will stay out of the politics for now. But, the hatred which exists touches us here. Not all that long ago when protests were going on here at City Hall there was a large group of Palestinians and also another of Israelis. We could see a group of about five youths carrying a Palestinian flag surrounding and beating a Jewish elderly man. Obviously I cringed. I think that protests are a right. However, abuse of any kind is not. And when a group attack one man I find it despicable. There is a lot of hate going around these days. We need to remember that in Canada regardless of where we come from, we have chosen to be here. Well, my parents chose to be here and I came along for the ride. It is our home. Some people who fight here are fighting fellow Canadians who happen to have immigrated from somewhere at some time. As for myself, I believe in doing no harm. Therefore, if it causes harm, step back. I have been watching documentaries lately and reading about the most horrible things that people to others, because of religion or political motives. I wonder how we have survived? Yet we have. I do believe that there is more good than bad. As a therapist my concern is my client regardless of gender, religion, political view etc……It is not my job to judge them. It is my job to help them as they wish to be. However, I do have times when I have a duty to report and each client knows that. That is all for today. Maybe you can spend some time reflecting. Have you been harmed by any group? Do you belong to a group that causes harm? What do you think?
