21. Grateful for Miserable People

After group I took a call for The Other Ken.  Before the caller realized he had the wrong Ken, I learned he hated his job, and didn’t much care for rehabs.  He wanted me to know he ‘knew people’ - whatever that meant. I felt bad The Other Ken would have to deal with him, but be grateful I didn’t.  I made a list of miserable people who were unlikely to ever cross my path.

Today I will be grateful for all the miserable people I don’t have to deal with.
