I Believe

This is an email I received and thought I would share it. Lots of these statements (in my opinion are true). Read each one of them and see what you think. Some of them really make you stop and think.

Now, I will continue with "what's going on with me". As some of you may know, I started training for a new job in December. I actually started working 2 weeks ago in the clinic and it has been SO hard! The dialysis clinic I am working in is in Valley, AL, so they are on eastern time. I work four 10 hour shifts and have to get up each morning at 3 AM to be at work at 4 AM (5 their time). I am on my feet the ENTIRE time, which is fine, it's just a big change from my other job. I like that I actually feel like I'm doing something and doing lots of work, but my body is just NOT taking to it too well at all! I am tired everyday even if I go to bed at 7 the night before (8 hrs of sleep). It has just been wearing on me and I honestly don't know what to do. I don't know if it was a mistake to take this job out of desperation or if I was supposed to. I believe that God gives us opportunities for a reason. Maybe I was put in this position for a reason, I just haven't figured out why yet. I like the people I work with and I like the patients. Alot of them have already taken to me pretty well and like me and want me to stay, and I must say I like being around them, BUT I just don't know if my body will ever get used to getting up at 3 am everyday. Anyways...enough about my babbling!



I love the show Sex and the City. I know it probably isn't the best show to watch, but I love it. I was watching some of the DVDs the other day and Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) said something that I really liked. She said,

"Hope for the best, prepare for the worst and who knows, you just might be pleasantly surprised."

I thought that was a great statement because alot of times I think I expect to much out of people or situations I am in. I am trying to teach myself NOT to do that, but sometimes it's hard when you crave so much.
