It's been a while since I blogged, but I have been busy working & taking care of my family. I also have been busy going out with my work family @ both facilities. All my colleagues ask me how is it that I have time to do half the things I do! I always tell them, when you love the people you do things with, you make sure you make time for them. I work allot & on my days off I try to enjoy the people I love & try to experience new & different things. People I work with always tell me that they look forward to working with me because I'm such a positive & funny influence; my patients request me & patients that I don't even care for know of me & know my name. It's always nice when my patients remember me, but when they're able to tell me why they remember me..... That always humbles me. At my other job as a logistics manager, I always try to make myself available to my colleagues & staff. My work ethic has caught my superiors' attention & I have been receiving compliments from directors & people I didn't even know were watching me. I only have God to thank for my ability to work this hard & have the energy to be a positive force- thank you GOD!
Some of my colleagues think I'm crazy because I work too much, they say I take that saying to another level: but I always make sure I make it to church every Sunday, and make Sunday dinner for the brats, & spend as much time as I can with the people I love. I am very fortunate to have 2 jobs that I love, when I go to work, it's not a chore; although I do tend to work allot, it doesn't feel like work to me, because I feel like I am making a difference in the lives of the people I work for: my patients! Keeping busy has helped me cope with my losses & giving has always been the only way I know how to care for other people, maybe I give too much of myself; but it feels so good to be able to give to those in need!
Doing all these things & staying busy calms my soul. My oldest daughter always tells me you're doing too much. My youngest daughter calls me doingtoomuch.com, but honestly, I think I don't do enough. As I have mentioned before my chaotic schedule has been my therapy for almost 2 years now. Although most of the time I don't see my family, my patients remind me that what I do impacts their lives profoundly. I definitely will be making more time for my family, I have made a promise to myself to spend more time with my brats & Mom, & that's exactly what I'm going to do.
So let me just share with you guys a little of my busy life:
