I love to travel.......... anywhere & everywhere. Any excuse to get on the road is enough for me. 1000mi straight to somewhere. Some people call that crazy; I call it good times.
For now, I'm working on making my first new house a home, so I am currently spending every waking hour (that I'm not working to try to pay for it) trying to make it my own.... fun, but exhausting. I truly *love* it here... it is such a blessing from God that I am able to live door-to-door with my sister, brother-in-law & nephew. My family is such a blessing in my life... if I could only tell you.
ADD the Hands & Feet Project as your friend...
Help make a difference in the life of one child and you can change the course of a nation!
I work evenings in Acute Psychiatric Care (inpatient) at the University of MN Medical Center.....
people who take care of people get paid less than anybody
people who take care of people are not worth much except to people who are sick, old, helpless, and poor
people who take care of people are not important to most other people, are not respected by many other people, come and go without much fuss, unless they dont show up when needed
people who make more money tell them what to do, never get shit on their hands, never mop vomit or wipe tears, dont stand in danger of having plates thrown at them, sharing every cold, observing agonies they cannot tell at home
people who take care of people have a secret that sees them through the double shift, that moves with them from room to room, that keeps them on the floor... sometimes they fill a hollow no one else can fill
sometimes through the shit and blood and tears, they go to a beautiful place... somewhere those clean important people have never been.
the most amazing men of God I've ever had the joy & priviledge of calling my friends...
I could never ask for more.
I am SO beyond abundantly blessed.
Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.......

and to my boys...... I owe my life to you..... and one of these days I will tell you that. scratch that... I finally did. thank you.
