Visibility

Today I did a deep cleaning of my car, room, and bathroom. It lasted five hours. It was the reorganize and dust EVERYTHING kind of cleaning, and I'm pleased with the results. I even made a few discoveries that made the process worthwhile.

I stumbled upon a mysterious manila folder that, at some point, I had filled with encouraging cards and mementos from my time in Indianapolis. I found a squirt gun that Bobbie used to use to attack me at work, a black ribbon from my first homeless memorial service, and a copy of my story about volunteerism in the Indianapolis Star, among other things. Perhaps my favorite discovery was a piece of paper I kept above my desk at Horizon House. It says:

"Work is LOVE made visible."

I have no idea where I found the quote originally, or to whom it should be attributed, but I love it. I copied it down onto a new notecard and posted it above my desk. I could use the reminder every once in awhile. :)
