Ward of Vulnerability
This snippet of chain-love appeared on facebook today and had me thinking about the nurses we know and the roles they play in our lives:
Somewhere right now a nurse is getting yelled at for being late with meds, holding their bladder because they don’t have time to pee, starving because they missed lunch,puked on, pooped on, bled on, and is missing their family while taking care of yours. In the minute it took you to read this, nurses all over the world are saving lives. Repost if you are a nurse, love a nurse, or APPRECIATE nurses and the job they do.
Life seems our ultimate ‘work in progress’, doesn’t it?
Three conversations within 24 hours made me rethink the constant conundrum about living to work, working to live, letting go of our former selves and moving on. Most of it has to do with the security our work place provides as it defines us. Much of it relates to the traditional idea of studying a chosen profession, forging a career path within that specific field, never being blustered about by a Wizard of Oz type tornado which just may take Dorothy on a new, bright yellow road to a different Oz.
It’s pretty scary. It’s hard to let go.
