what was the best moment in your day today?

I work in child health, doing health screening assessments on children, today I was screening a little boy who has had a difficult life, he is not yet 5, when I went to get him he was reluctant to come with me, and when he did, he was reluctant to engage, he was almost defiantly not doing any of the things I asked him to do, and he would NOT give me more than the briefest of eye contact, but I like children, its why I love my job, even watchful, wary, difficult or damaged children. I like to find the place that makes them comfortable, and in 4 years I have only failed in a few cases, and this makes me sad.

Today I made a sad little boy smile, and he did the screenings, and he and I had a little giggle and he held my hand when I took him back after the assessment. He probably is going to need glasses, and he will get them because of me, that is great, I love that I make can make a positive difference to children's health and well being.

But the best moment of my day was when he looked at me and smiled.

I LOVE my job

Currently, right this second, is the best moment of my day.

What a lovely feeling, Karen, that you have got through to that little lad. Makes my best moment seem very selfish...that at the gym I went round the machines, and with almost every one had to up the weights -usually they are set so high I have to take them right down again!
Well done for all you give to these children to make a difficult time easier for them!

Nothing I did today comes anywhere close to your highlight; that is a wonderful story.

The best moment for me was a phone call from my girl.
