I'm off now for 2 weeks from the "teaching" aspect of my job...
I have only about a million things to do to get the house "freshened" up for the start of 2018
- Painting
- Removing small amount of wall paper at the entrance
- Remove 3/4 of furniture literally
- Addition of new curtains happened this evening
- Addition of brand new desk for my home office happened, just needs to move to it's location
- New facets and shower head in upstairs bathroom
- Surprise kids with "real" Christmas tree tomorrow...
(We have a small one up, but it's getting replaced tomorrow with a live one)
- Assembly of new stands/shelves
- Assembly of chandelier
It's time to make this place mine...
I have re-arranged many things since he left...
however it's time to completely make it my space.
I can count the amount of times I have signed in, in the last year.
Tonight I sign in, normally it the cursor circles over and over
but tonight almost immediately I hit "enter" after my password
and VOILA... it opens.
Then ALL previous conversations start to load.
Reflecting on things I've done, things I have yet to unfold.
I smile thinking on the people that have entered my life,
that are still standing proud beside me...I feel grateful.
I also smile thinking of the ones that are no longer apart of my innerness ... because
every single person that we meet, speak with...
share with become a small part of us, again...I feel grateful.
Regardless of relationships ending, we've all taken good things from each of them.
It's hard to walk away, but did one really "walk" away when they've stood there for days, weeks,
months, YEARS fighting to sustain what once was?
I started hosting a group. A group that can share openly their thoughts, feelings with others
that they may know or they may be complete strangers, with a common denominator.
Last night we spoke about losing someone. Losing someone that was a significant part
of your world...then 1 day *POOF* it's gone, they are gone.
Like I shared last night there are many ways to "end" a relationship.
There are many types of relationships...which is like a contract that needs to be followed.
(For those not following that last sentence)
I am a Nurse.
I build Nurse-client relationships with EVERY patient I see. I teach this to Nursing Students, as it's fundamental the foundation of our PROFESIONAL practice. Nurses are responsible for beginning, maintaining and ending a relationship with a client in a
way that ensures the client’s needs are first.
Have their been patients that I've met that I would have enjoyed
having them in my circle of friends? .... YES
Patients that are "my kind of people" .... YES
Did I have to "end" the relationship and maintain my professional boundaries? .... YES
Every person I learn from
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
Then...there is the relationship that ends from the other person. A relationship perhaps you weren't
ready for it to end. You actually grieve the loss... it's painful knowing this type of loss is irreversible.
Which loss is this? Death.
I just lost another beautiful 24 year old girlfriend.
I am crushed...
Hurt...
Lost knowing she ended her own life...
Struggling to understand....
Don't take people and relationships for granted.
Some need to end due to toxicity
But rather then dwelling on the negative, look for the good that became.
Always positives if you choose to open your eyes and SEE
