Busy in the Madness
My full-time job as a nurse has been one of anxiety and constant change. Keeping abreast of what’s going on in the world of COVID-19; the people it affects and how communities have changed in the process of it all, have kept me very busy.
Through it all, I have to stay positive with prayer and a little fun. By fun I mean, wearing funny hats, sunglasses shaped like ice cream cones or flamingos. The patients tell me how they get a kick out of such craziness. It softens the blow of what life is trying to knock us down with. And although we, patients and staff alike, have to wear our face masks from the time we enter the building until we leave the premises while staying on guard, we all need a laugh every now and then to get on with life.
So, to you my readers I want to first say, thank you for reading my newsletters and books and second, remember to stay safe, loving and healthy.

So Much to Be Grateful For
Whew. What a crazy, insane and sad year we have been through. Mask mandates, riots, extreme unemployment, hunger, politics and a pandemic with a reported death toll of 300,000 as of December 14th 2020.
On this Christmas day, a sign of hope is needed. For some, it’s found in the new COVID-19 vaccines that have been released by the FDA. For others, it has been through personal prayers at home, work and in places of worship. As Americans, through all the ugliness that has transpired, kindness has outshined the dark and placed a sign, a light, that shows that we are strong and caring.
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
