…  I needed to remind a couple family members of this recently.  I’m an ER nurse.  [Apparently, I’m also AN ESSENTIAL … (Wow – doesn’t that sound post-apocalyptic!  You and me Daryl – We Got This! )]

But honestly – it’s just FAITH …  I struggled with this early in my nursing career.  When we ‘intervene’ to give life saving drugs/techniques/measures … are we stepping-on-Jesus or playing GOD?!?

No.  We are doing our jobs, through Him … What is meant – will be!  Fast forward 30 years … If I am here, it is because I’m meant to be here.

And, if you wake up with me wearing this mask … It’s because I’m an ER nurse, and I have a twisted/sarcastic sense of dealing with STUFF!

So, I’ll be heading off to work in a few hours.  In the meantime … I share.  This week I played with pups, cooked some good food and ‘created’ with paper – because it was my down-time … 

Soon, I will put on a MASK  (not the one I’d really like to wear, and there is no guarantee the one I wear will protect me any better [- PLEASE DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE NECESSARRY PPE TANGENT!]  … take a deep breath, relax my shoulders, …) and  I WILL TAKE CARE OF THE NEXT PATIENT …

Peace, stay safe, and – have FAITH, please!
