Yes I'm Jumpin' Back Into

the world of geriatric health care which has been a passion of mine for many years.
I called Albany this morning and they are sending out the application & forms I need to fill out & return to them along with the fee. Albany will then send me a list of dates & sites re certification exams will be given. If I am predicting correctly, I should be back into the world of health care within a month or so, depending on exam dates. I humbly ask to be remembered in your prayers, that the knowledge needed for the exam wont "escape me" during test taking time. Also that I will be able to find a position that wont break my back.....sounds funny maybe, but honestly I am serious.
The more I think about all of this, the more excited I become. I simply love working with the elderly. I adore them. I am Blessed with a way of "fitting in"to their world, understanding their worries and having something about me "they are able to relate & trust. This has held true no matter my age and I have been in this field for 30 yrs.

There's Nothing Like.....

spending time with a real friend, reconnecting like not one single day has passed without being together. Watching the kids interact with one another, hoping, while at the same time knowing best bonds will be formed.
My heart is real and for those I hold so dear and love as family, I am always there. ALWAYS.
These words are written with Jennifer on my mind.

A Quick Update.

Janice was discharged from hospital Tues. 6/9/09.
Popa Jack is set for surgery June 25.
For these two people who mean so much to me,
please continue to pray for them and the families.

Sincerely,

Patricia

Thank You.
