An unexpected gift

My night at work is going well. Not as hectic as nights over the past few weeks. I mean I even have time to update this, which almost never happens. Anyhow, something interesting happened earlier. I just received a very nice gift from one the family members of a patient I cared for months ago. She came back because she wanted to apologize for being so rude to me when I took care of her husband. I don't even remember what she specifically said to me, but I do remember that it was challenging to reassure her about everything I was doing when I took care of her husband at the time. She thanked me for taking very good care of her husband. Apparently, she bumped into one of the CNAs in the cafeteria, specifically asked if I was working and tracked me me down in the unit I'm working at to deliver a little statue called "the angel of caring." It was a sweet and thoughtful gift. It's just nice to be reminded from time to time that your patients and/or their families actually appreciate what you do.

I don't believe in new year's resolutions, but I do believe in having personal goals and aspirations. I think the new year is a great time to be reminded and more conscious of commitments to priorities and focusing on making personal lifelong changes for the better. New year's day doesn't compel me to think of what direction I want to take next, it's actually my birthday, which just passed yesterday. 2008 is coming to a close. I'm 26 now. I look back on the past year with so much gratitude for...
