This is basically the email I sent to a friend last night after a terrible day...
"Today was hellish! We got an admission that just didn't go well and made for a rotten second half of the shift... I was so frusterated and I prayed on my way home because most of the time when I leave work I am happy and ok with my move to MI, but sometimes I really miss H (but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE living here near family and friends. I love seeing my parents as much as I do- esp after this weekend of seeing them all three days!!), but after rotten days like today, I really miss H and the nurses and Docs I worked with. So I prayed because I can't figure out what to do about my unhappiness with the situation: I told God, I don't know what to do- I go to church when I don't have to work, I read my Bible (almost every night before bed), I am seeing my family, and seeing friends, I do have a good job in that I get to do what I love and that's work with babies and their families- but at times it all doesn't seem like enough and I am clueless what to do to fix it!, and about 5-8mins later, I got a phone call I didn't recognize. It was K, the mom of my primary from H and I talked with her for probably 10-12 mins and talked to R, her fiance for about 5 mins and it just completely made my day! I got off the phone and I just looked out at the sky through my windshield and said "Thank you", because God was totally behind that. He gave me the reminder that even though I have some rotten days and some days I just get so frusterated at adjusting to a new hospital, that in the end, the lives I touch are what make it worth it."
