From Lemons to Lemonade!

I believe. I believe that we take what life gives us, make the best of it, and eventually we are rewarded. When I went to work at the nursing home, it severely depressed me. I was depressed because it was not what I wanted. But it was what I needed. I just didn't know it at the time. I cried every day on the way to work. I cried at work because my supervisors gave me a hard time. I cried when I got home from work because I felt like I was less than I should be as a nurse. But as I bonded with my residents I eventually stopped crying and started to feel like I was worth something again. My husband says he admires the way I took a job I absolutely hated and dug in and made the best of it. I have paid my dues, and now it's time for a change. A change I am really looking forward to! I have accepted (with joy in my heart!) a position at Tennessee Oncology's Baptist location. I will become certified as a chemo nurse even though I can't legally administer the chemo. Everyone I have met there has been absolutely wonderful and I can't wait to work with them! The lemons that I have been handed this past year have now been turned into lemonade. And, to make matters even better, my husband has agreed to babysit our grandson during the day while he is laid off from work. So when I come home in the evenings, I have the joy of being greeted at the door by my Michael. He is truely the sunshine in my heart!
