I have just returned from a glorious 2-week vacation. (Did you miss me?) The first week was spent doing some much-needed catching up around the house, and general goofing off with my children. The second week was spent in sunny Florida, and involved two amusement parks, the ocean, a wave runner, driving around the Daytona 500 track for Daddy’s Father’s Day present. . . a significant amount of time in the sun. It is really one of my only vices. There is just nothing like the feeling of the warmth of the sun, the breeze across your skin, music playing, children laughing and splashing in a pool, and me in a chaise lounge doing nothing but take it all in.
Of course it all comes to an end, and it is back to work. While I was on vacation, several prominent celebrities passed away, some in the prime of their lives. When I returned to work, I experienced a patient loss on my first day back. With children, it is always in the prime of their lives, regardless of their age. This brings me to my thoughts on significance. One of the many blessings of my job as a registered nurse is that it keeps me grounded as to what is truly significant, important, and meaningful in life. You may come in to work feeling sorry for yourself that you only had a two-week vacation, and now it is time to come back to work, and oh isn’t that just so sad for you. And then you look around you. And you see what is truly important. And you count the blessings that you have. That you had a vacation, because that means you have a job. And you got to see your beautiful children playing in the ocean, laughing and smiling. And you very quickly start counting up these sorts of blessings and realize. . . I don’t have any problems, do I? Because the beauty of my job is, I help people through the most helpless, scary, uncertain time of their lives. I see the significance in life, and know that you should appreciate all of the rich blessings that you have. Right here, right now.
