The Life I Have

I consider myself very lucky in my life. I have some amazing things and people that make my life wonderful. I try very hard to keep a positive attitude, and believe me, it's hard at times. With every day brings new adventures challenges and set backs. All of my life experiences have made the person I am today, so I like to view my past as a good thing. I like the person I have become and that would not have been possible without all the good, the bad and the ugly that make up my past.

The newest adventure in life is my new job. Now I thought I had seen a lot as a Neuro Trauma ICU RN. But let me tell you, working in an ER has opened my eyes to so many things I either never knew were happening...or maybe I jus chose to live in a happy little sheltered bubble, and be naive to the crazy world around me...LOL I get to step in to the lives, even for a brief time of the pts I care for. Their lives and experiences have opened my eyes significantly over the past year. Many of the things I have seen on the job have made me so thankful for the life I have. I see so many situations that remind me to stop and smell the roses once in a while. Sometimes I get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of the daily grind that I forget to take a look around at all the blessings in my life. In 2014 I plan to try harder to appreciate all of the good things about my life.
