Wish 9

Opening the door with a sigh I leave work today, Friday.  I should be excited to come to the end of my week but I am feeling a little disenchanted.  I do love my job but I perpetually struggle with the fact that anyone can be a care giver.  I do home support and assist people so they can continue to live at home.  I know this position is important but as I only get paid $20 per hour I don't see the value society puts on this job.  The fact that anyone can do it and I don't need specialized skills makes me feel like I am not living up to my potential.  

I suppose I am lucky as in Canada there is some value to this position.  Many places in the world there is no value given to care givers.  

Maybe the lesson I need to learn is that my position in life and how much or how little I make financially has no impact on my value.

It is easy for me to see the value in every living being but when it comes to judging my own value, my title or my income weigh heavily.  Wait! If I am judging myself to the standard of how much money I make than I must be judging others by the same standard and I don't want that at all! 

Today my wish is for me to see my value just as I am and in return it will reinforce the value I see in others.  

Instantly thinking these thoughts I turn a corner and came upon the most wonderful fountain to make my 9th wish.  I feel so fortunate!
