This is something that has come up recently in my life. Its not my forte but after some conversation with some rather wise people, I realize that forgiveness is a double sided situation. Its not something you HAVE to do for others, but you should be able to forgive yourself. For the actions you have taken or the decisions you've made that have just not panned out the way you thought. For the things you thought would turn out better.
I think I'm too easy to forgive some people. There are a few key people that won't necessarily earn that right away, if ever. I'm not proud of that but its me being honest. And I'm on the receiving end of that too. I get it. I can definitely understand that in some cases. Now cause I did something to you like 5 years ago that I never even realized I did...that's different. So that being said...if I hurt you in any way, I'm sorry...I sincerely mean it. And that's all you get.
Now, as far as life in general goes, I'm training for a half marathon here in November. DUMB IDEA. But I've committed (read this as, I've paid the entry fee...all 96 bucks of it) and I've been sticking to my training plan now for a little bit. My feet and knees are killing me. My body is not happy about this plan. And yet here we are. Today was five miles. The most I've ever run at one time was 6 miles back in January. Its been a long time since January folks.
Nursing stuff...well, my job is actually pretty darn cool. I get to work with the most awesome patients, and I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of it. The people I work with are great. I figured I'd share some helpful hints here to support my fellow health professionals (or anyone else who might be reading this). Today's hint: Don't let your patients walk off the floor with just their socks on. Especially if they are returning to said floor. Who knows what the hell they are picking up from wherever they're going. And they're just bringing it back to share with others. There you have it kids. After my first 3 day run of shifts for this week THAT's what I've managed to pick up. Hahaha.
