Tonight's picture was taken in November of 2007. That weekend, we went for a walk on Roosevelt Island. It was practically a weekend tradition for us. The Island is close to our home, it has wide open space, plenty of trees and things to explore, and it was a place Mattie absolutely loved! In fact, as a baby, Mattie was most at peace when he was outside. It did not matter the temperature. Prior to Mattie coming into my life, I really did not spend much time outside. Much less walking and exploring in the woods. Mattie changed all of that for me, and to this day, I am more comfortable being outside than inside.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.

- number of people who died from the virus: 237,488
Believe it or not, I am still working on obtaining my continuing education credits for my license. These credits are due by December 31. However, I am determined to get all 40 hours done before mid-November. I have only FOUR more hours left. I have found the way to meet my goal is getting up early each morning and spending an hour or more a day on these trainings. Taking anything in small dosages truly makes it manageable. It reminds me of graduate school.
I enrolled in a Telehealth for Mental Health Professionals class, that is 12 hours long. Today the instructor showed a 3-4 minute video featuring Ellen's talk show. The purpose of showing us the video was to remind us of the importance of making sure the person we are working with understands the technology that we plan on using! It was a cute way to get this message across. I included the clip below, because how the kids reacted to an old cell phone and an answering machine had me laughing hysterically.
