Successful week


In CPE, we focus on our failures so that we become better pastoral counselors and chaplains. However, right now, I need to pat myself on the back. I have had multiple counselings this week that were intense. And in each case, the sailor reaffirmed my abilities to counsel and lead them to a better place of understanding and thoughtfulness.

I need to celebrate this week to offset the times that I fail  - - and I will, or suffer from SWO guilt.

No-one bats 100%. As my father reminded me, some of the best hitters in baseball only get a hit once every three times at bat. I'll take this week as a win, celebrate, and go back into the trenches.
