check the ego at the door

i met with a woman who i think has emotional and mental health problems. she lives in a studio and has been there for over 20 years. with that studio she has 4 storage spaces that are filled to capacity. unfortunately the apartment building has been sold and she is not sure about her living status. she contacted me for help. at first glance of everything i thought "oh my god, this is just too much". but me being me, i want to help. our first organizing session was a painfully slow process. she got emotional,  upset, distressed and had a mixtures of manic highs and lows. when the session ended i took her items away for donation. as extra free help i also researched movers and potential jobs in sf. now at the end of the session we did not set a follow up appointment. basically what we did was a drop in the bucket and there is so much more to do but i didn't push the issue. yesterday i got a not so happy e-mail from her. she basically ripped into me for a variety of things. of course she ended the email with "i really enjoyed meeting you". so what's my point?
i hate the fact that there is someone out there who is not 100 percent satisfied with the work i did. i know - ego, ego, ego. basically i want every one's stamp of approval.  i gotta let it go and stop trying to make it right. in this situation it aint gonna happen.

here's my lesson for the day -

You can please some of the people some of the time all of the people some of the time some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time.” Abraham Lincoln
