Returning to work August 27.

I can bend my knee almost pain free. That is the final benchmark to make before I return to work. There have been rumors I would not go back. Sure I considered the what ifs. But, I realize my job is a gift, a rare opportunity. I love surgical nursing. Yes, I hate the call, who doesn't. There are trade-offs though. As I look towards my return date, I have mixed feelings. I have loved being with my family this summer. I have enjoyed many things that would not have been possible if I were working. Instead of wishing for something different, I am going to live the rest of these few days wildly, realizing what a precious treasured gift life is. Whether working, cooking dinner, folding clothes or watering the flowers, this is all part of my life. As I wrote down my call schedule for September, sure my heart ached. I don't want to miss any of my son's football games or my daughter cheering. I am just going to do what I know to be the right thing and believe that everything will work out. I don't have any idea what tommorrow holds but I know who holds the future and He is already there waiting for me. You see He has a plan for my life and it is my job to show up and work for Him.
