Hello Guys and Gals! I haven't posted in awhile. I am done working at the care center and I am waiting to start my new job at the hospital. I had my first care center resident pass away last week. It was pretty devastating. I am a no holds barred type of person. I love with all that I have to give and I don't know how to protect myself from this type of hurt when you lose someone that you have taken care of and have really developed a bond with. People tell me that I need to have stronger boundaries...I just don't know how to do that. I don't want to become an uncaring person but I now realize the need to protect my heart a little bit more. It is something that I will need to figure out.

In addition to all of this, I spent three days last week painting the inside of my house. It was a big job to tackle and I am happy to say that it turned out really well...inspite of my shaky hands! I learned a new technique for cutting in and it worked like a charm. The house looks beautiful! I wish I could say that I did all of this painting without feeling any pain or discomfort, but that would be a lie. I am still recovering from the workout.

Steve, I am so sorry to hear about the difficulties that Laura is having. I will keep you both in my prayers. I will pray that God leads you to the place where Laura will find the care that she needs to get her moving forward again. I will pray that God continues to keep you both strong, inspite of whatever may come your way, so that you may continue to be a blessing to eachother. It is awesome to me that in this big, crazy world you two have found eachother and are fighting the good fight together. God Bless.
