Man, it is peaceful here right now... Tom is still at work, kids are in the bed...I love it!!!! Something really weird about me is that as much as I like people and to be around them, I LOVE quite time alone with just me and my thoughts.
I can hear the crickets and frogs outside my window...the ocean waves coming from the kids sound machine...a slight hum of the heat pump...even an occasional dog bark in the distance...
You gotta love it...
Had a wonderful day because I got to interact with the geriatric population today in thier homes...rode along with the doctor...It makes you appreciate nursing very much...you go into thier homes not knowing what to expect when you enter...We go once a month and sometimes they are great and sometimes they are worse. When the doc catches something that probably wouldn't have been caught had you not visited, it makes you realize that you were supposed to have entered thier house today....cause I am sure in the course of someone's prayers they have asked God to protect thier loved ones...and he is using us to answer thier prayers...Wow...what an awesome duty...
I always leave feeling good because you have actually helped them mentally, emotionally and sometimes physically and medically....but I also feel that hole in my stomach again...I want to do so much more...I want to take a warm cloth and wash the morning sleep out of thier eyes....I want to comb thier hair...I want to clean the house...I want to take all the burdens off of them so they don't have anything to worry about...
