Thanks To Nurses Everywhere For Your Service

As part of the “Year of the Nurse and Midwife” celebration, the American Nurses Association will expand National Nurses Week, traditionally celebrated from May 6 to May 12 each year, to a month-long celebration in May to expand opportunities to elevate and celebrate nursing.

To all the nurses out there some of whom I am friends with I salute you for your service to the world. When my dad was sick I saw really how important they are. A hospital or physicians practice doesn’t run without them. Thank you for all you do to keep our communities well and healthy. In this time of COVID-19 thanks for your bravery.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army’s difficult victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza.

It’s also a time for many to celebrate with Mexican food and drink. It seems to be another reason to have a big party. No matter how you celebrate have fun, be safe and remember the reasons for the day.

Calling And Abundance

During my priests homily this morning he talked about calling primarily and from that a secondary rift on abundance. Every person has some sort of calling and from a religious sense its about opportunities that God has given to humanity. I think a calling is an opportunity to do great things. You have an abundance of people and places and cool things that come into your life because of it.

The crazy part of it all is when you answer the call lots of stuff happens that makes it possible for your to fulfill your new duties in life.

This thing about abundance has been kind of loaded in the sense that it seems to be used by some to grace people with wealth and riches. My mindset comes from a place of fairness and justice where there are so many people who are living without. Maybe abundance can be measured in different ways where its about all the cool things you get to do in life.

So as I contemplate the notions of calling and abundance perhaps I can find out more and see how it can change my view and life. Let’s see how it goes. Here is to all of us seeking to do what we are called to do in abundance.

May We Grow Back To Something Better

I have talked previously about the return to “normal” and frankly I don’t want to go back there. Right now we have to chart a new timeline and a new course. Taking the lessons of the past few weeks and applying to a new way forward. We aren’t going back because that’s not the direction any of us is going. Courage and compassion are the rules of the days ahead.

Quote Of The Day

Seek patience and passion in equal amounts. Patience alone will not build the temple. Passion alone will destroy its walls.
