Loving in new ways

Can I just say that I am relieved to be done with my first week at the hospital?  It's been a wonderful learning experience so far, but I'm wiped out!  (Cut me some slack, I've been awake for a solid 17 hours...)  Today had it's own adventures just like every day... patients whose speech I can't understand...patients who don't cooperate very well...and of course some patients who make my heart melt a little.  One thing I've noticed is that I love being friendly to every patient--even if they are difficult.  I figure that those people deserve a smile and friendly greeting more than anyone.  I'm just surprised at how much I love them... I didn't expect that so much.

I'm still figuring out some of the logistics of the internship, but I know it'll come.  Like I mentioned in my last post, my supervisor is so great--she is so patient with me and gives me confidence to keep trying.

On a completely different note, I got copies of our family pictures that we had taken at our reunion in July.  Here are just a few--they turned out great!  I love my family.  They all inspire me to be my best self.

The whole bunch of us.  

Each of my siblings' families had portraits taken, and since
 I am my own "family", I got a glamour shot. :)
