Well today's theme is "P" or anything that starts with the letter "P". I am feeling rather blah today which brings to mind 2 specific "P's" for me.
PATIENCE and POSITIVE THOUGTHS
Positive Thoughts:My hubby says I am not a very patient person. In my personal life I guess I am not. I think my professional life has sucked the patience out of me. There have been many times in my professional career that I have wanted to say some choice words to some patients but because I know they are unwell and in most cases are trying I must learn to have Patience. So by the time I get home and have to deal with life on a personal level, I feel like all my patience has been zapped right out of me. It's like when I am at work everyone wants everything now or yesterday, trying to deal with someone who is vomitting and generally feeling unwell and then a family member for another patient wants you right while you are in the middle of tending to someone else...it's like they expect you to drop everything and be there for them right then and there....so I dig into my patience bag and pull out the biggests patience tool I can muster up and politely tell them that I am in the middle of something and I will be with them as soon as I can.
In my professional life I feel like everyone wants something from me now and it is expected that I will prvide and meet their needs. So I think, if this happens to me in my professional life why can't I expect things now in my personal life......it' doesn't happen that way. My mom was a great one for saying Rome wasn't created in a day.

It's been hard these past few weeks to stay positive. With my shoulder aka back injury, and trying to be supportive and as helpful to hubby as I can be with his recovery from his shoulder surgery, and now my colitis acting up.... I am just spent. I try to look at each day as a new day, with bright opportunities. Maybe today I tell myself my back aka shoulder won't hurt.....maybe today my tummy will settle down....today I will go for a walk and drink in all the beauty that my little world around me has to offer. Maybe today I won't get so upset over little things. Maybe today I will see the light at the end of the tunnel....maybe today I won't be so irritable from the medications they have me on....maybe today I won't feel so sorry for myself and be thankful for everything I have been blessed with. Yes maybe today I will be more Positive!

I'm not very good at being patient either. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you in your career.
Positive thinking is something I'm a little better at. I've discovered that things seldom stay awful even though at times it may FEEL like it.
Hugs and ♥s to you my friend.
You must have the patience of JOB to do the job you do. I wish much positiveness (is that a word?) to honey. xx
Patience is something almost all of us could use more of - and positive thoughts, too.
Happy Tuesday.
Although I don't do heads or tails I wanted to say that patience is a very hard one for me as is positive thoughts, at times. I also know how meds can make it difficult even when helping with a physical issues. I hope you have a pleasant walk today. I love the photographs in your post below. I noticed you mentioning that you were going to have some nerve studies done. I had nerve conduction studies done a few years ago when I developed peripheral nueropathy. I dreaded them since it involves little shocks but I was pleasantly relieved that it wasn't bad at all. I hope your studies won't be bad either. Best wishes, Carver
Patience....NOT MY HIGH POINT.
Nuff said....
I have pictures at long beach...I was looking on your sidebar, and saw that little island in the back and recognized it immediately...Love that place...
Patience is not a virtue I will ever ever have. Just ask my son.
I try to always see that glass half full and when I don't, hubby reminds me of all I have to be positive about. Patience and positive thinking are two hard things I deal with.
I'm not a very patient person my own self.
Sending you some postive thoughts so you can keep yours up.
I am "guilty as charged" of being one of those family members. The only thing I can say in my defense is this; my mother was at a hospital known hereabouts for not giving good care to elderly and I wanted her to live. When I'm in hospital for myself, I am most patient. Sending positive thoughts your way...ciao
I can certainly relate to this post! I'm not very patient, and I've been having a rough time with positive thoughts lately too. ((((Hugs for my friend))))
I can imagine that your job can be very trying at times and very rewarding at others. I hope your back problems are solved soon.
I pretty much feel the same way. My patience has all been sucked out by the time I get home in the evenings.
I just posted news of a contest I'm having for Heads Or Tails players. Check it out. :)
Sounds like you have every reason in the world NOT to be patient. Chronic pain is the worst at wearing you down. I'm sure you've seen it at work, too many times.
I have quite a bit of patience at work with the kids I deal with...usually. But once I get home, forget it. I have a lot of trouble dealing with certain things my siblings do (or more likely, don't do).
Oh, my! I DO hope you are feeling better -
