1. The reading for this week talked about being present with the people we are visiting at the nursing home. Being present means we leave our troubles behind, we don’t look at our watch or phone every few minutes, and we listen like a true friend. Is it difficult for you to be present with those at the nursing home? In what way could you improve?

3. Are you able to relax while you visit people at the nursing home, or is it still somewhat scary or uncomfortable? (Be honest — most volunteers tell us it took them 4 or more weeks until they truly felt at ease.)
