Day 23

It was another good night at SafeHouse. The church group that came in was super organized and didn't need any extra help in the kitchen so I socialized for most of the evening. I usually spend the time before the service helping out in the kitchen but today I spent it out on the lot. There was quite a bit going on outside. Different groups of people were chatting, some were on their own just waiting. One lady in particular caught my attention - she was dancing around the lot, talking to herself, and then screaming at nobody in particular. I then had a long conversation with a gentleman who cleans windows; we spoke about window cleaning and being up 60+ floors, what it was like for him growing up on a farm, health care, mental health, food, relationships, and so much more!
Before I left he thanked me for talking to him - some people just want to have a normal conversation. It still amazes me that a conversation is all it takes to make a difference in someone's day!

I'm going back tomorrow, feel free to come hang out!!
