Hello!

So I am not really sure what to write about today. Maybe about what has been

floating through my head the last couple days.

I will start with my day at work.

So as you know I work at the hosptial...which I love. But today for some

 reason was just crazy...enough to make me hate the job almost.

That sounds bad but we were so incredibly understaffed today it was ridiculous. I wish I could make three of me. Anyway, I had a patient today that just about broke my heart. Without violating HIPPA here I will just say he was the sweetest old man I have every met...with Alzhiemers.

If you know anything about this disease, you will know it is debilitating and deadly.

He asked for a hug today.

I almost burst into tears.

Safe to say I don't know if I could work in a nursing home, or with Alzhiemers patients when I become a nurse. I don't think I could handle it.

Just knowing that your mind is gone and you can't even remember your own daughter...or son...or even your own name possibly. 

That's what I was going to lead into for my second thought.

I feel so incredibly lucky for the things I have.

I can walk

I can talk

I am so healthy its insane

I know who my family is and know that they love me so much

I know that the Lord is there and He never fails me

I couldn't imagine if I couldn't remember my sister, dad, the Lord.

So I shall leave you with this.

Take each day and THANK the Lord that you are alive, healthy, and well physically and mentally.

If I have learned one thing the short time I have worked in the healthcare field, it is to cherish the moments God has given me.
