♥ Organ Donation ♥ saved my Dad's :)
I have found that..
1.I have a profound respect for the older generation.
2.I like to wear flip flops year round, temperature permitting ;).
3.I like to watch the sun rise and set whenever possible and I value each passing day.
4.I try to use my time wisely.
5.I took a personality test for work and was told that as opposed to being a Relater, Ruler, or Analyzer, I am an Entertainer.
6. I find the ocean waves very tranquil.
7.I love long intriguing conversations.
8.I take pictures of just about everything that happens in my life.
9.I am aware that you are only young once. I see people everyday who's life are near the end and I wonder what they were like when they were my age. I remind myself that that will someday be me, and I appreciate my youth, family and friends to the fullest.
10.I love to shop, but mostly for things that are different, and crafty.
11.I enjoy wrapping presents and like creating gifts.
12.When I was younger I dreamed of being an artist.
13.I love being a nurse, and i want to be the best in my profession.

"Life is difficult
This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths. It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult--once we truly understand and accept it--then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters."~M. Scott Peck from The Road Less Traveled
My name is Kristen. I'm a 24 year old rehabilitation nurse, and i love my job.. mainly b/c i make people laugh and i get extreme satisfaction watching people get better. Most of my patients are rehabilitating from strokes, heart attacks or orthopedic surgeries such as total hip or knee replacements..
I love living close to the beach, and often walk there when i need to regroup my thoughts, or just relax. Laying on the dunes and staring up at the constellations is a perfect winter night for me. Like anyone, i have negatives and positives about myself. When i'm on my own time, I procrastinate alot.. sometimes i feel like there's so much to get done, and not enough hours in a day. I don't like being home alone at night and I often get made fun of for my driving and i'm rarely ontime, but i try! I'm good at paying my bills on time, and i love making people smile :) I feel its better to give, than receive.. and if its chirstmas or someone's birthday, its a big deal. I plan birthday suprises for weeks. I like to make scrapbooks..I've made two so far, my favorite being the one for my Dad for Father's Day 2005. I look at it everytime I go to his house, because its full of our memories and history. I always have a camera in my hand, because i love to capture memories. I know someday it may be all i have.. and if my house was about to burn down, they would be one of the only things i'd grab. I love music, and i've often said that music shapes the soul. Dancing like no one's watching me w/ my best friends by my side is ultimate fun.. and i look forward to nights like those. I love NYC, and plan on visiting more often since my younger sister attends college there. I'm a good listener.. but i talk.. ALOT, too. I'm very random and often jump from subject to subject, especially when i'm excited about something. Little things excite me.. and I can be very hyper at times, which is often comical to others. I love planning day trips, whether its to Dorney Park or the Museum of Natural History. I have nothing to hide.. and if you ask me a question, you will get an honest answer. I'm just me.. i'm not a hippy or a prep.. not punk or emo. I like too many different things to classify who or what i am. Just me. And i like who i am :)
"There have been some medical schools in which somewhere along the assembly line, a faculty member has informed the students, not so much by what he said but by what he did, that there is an intimate relation between curing and caring."

"Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have."
-Margaret Mead
I want to be that person...
