A fresh 6 inches of snow covered the lawn over night. The snow continued throughout Friday.  Travel was slow.  The flurries were wet and heavy packed, perfect for fort building. All trees bowed as weeping willows, covered with layers. A picture.

A good weekend was had by all.  Up north to the far reaches of the western upper peninsula, so close to Houghton, we enjoyed our travels.

Wedding Travel, Kennan M. DeWitt

As the three energetic children scaled the car seats to find their places in the highway hotrod,  we filled cargo to capacity.  The cats and fish were fed and the house secured. The weather was sunny and windy, an ideal travel day.  She drove the first shift and I read.  I drove and she read to me from her latest novel intrigue.  Three hours flew by and we were headed for the pool. The almost 3 year olds quickly developed a healthy dread of the water, but then splashed about in their floaties.  Our 6 year old could not be contained and practiced the front crawl, or front paddle.  The chlorine was pugent and the youngsters shivered.  Dinner was fabulous mexican nearby. A plastic ball game in the hotel was the evening highlight.  The kids slept soundly.

Dear Friends: Finding meaning in one’s therapeutic work with clients on a daily basis can be challenging. Beyond the technical content of what a client reveals is the richer meaning of their experience. Reflective and active listening skills are essential. Attention to a client’s non-verbal signs is instructive. Listening often requires not talking despite impulse to the contrary. Their “richer meaning” can be gleaned from their story or narrative, which is neither right nor wrong. One’s perspective is not tested for accuracy, but may be open to adjustment. Placing ourselves in the client’s shoes lends appreciation of their experience. Accurate reflection and genuine empathy form a connection with our client and the foundation for therapeutic change
