"Hello love, I just wanted to tell you that I love you dearly. You make my life so easy, so peaceful, and so joyful. You are a HUGE blessing in my life. I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you so much for being the love of my life. Thank you for working your tail off to help support and hold this family together. Thank you for loving God before loving me. Thank you for just being you. :)"
I have been having some really hard days at work. Not only are they hard physically, they are so hard emotionally. I have worked 16 hours about once a week. I have definitely had a problem with caring too much and bringing my patients home with me. I have just truly began to experience the difficult side of being a nurse. It shows. I am a positive person, but lately I have been so negative. It is tearing me up. I worked some overtime and had a few really hard emotional situations and I feel like it took a toll on me. My husband has taken it every day when I come home in tears so exhausted I just collapse into bed until it's time to get up and go again. My husband has encouraged me every step of the way. After having one of these days Thursday, I came home to roses, a Lady Antebellum CD, and a card that contained the above message. I immediately felt rejuvinated.
I'm not going to even stretch the truth far enough to say I won't have bad days. I wouldn't even dare say I won't be negative anymore and that I will learn overnight to give the appropirate amount of care to my patients but not bring those emotions home with me. I will say that for this week in my exhaustion my husband served as a light to me to point me back to the Lord and to give me some hope as I keep pushing. Those two words were sweetness to my soul and health to my body. Thank you.
I wish you weren't having such a rough time. Really glad that you have such good support at home.
