There are times when you wonder if what you are doing is doing any good. I entered the nursing home this morning and saw 3 people in the meeting room.

Several of the staff began to help bring in more residents. We had a wonderful service and ended up with 25 residents. at the close of the service the activities director came in to introduce herself.
