Day after day, I see women at my work. Women who want help, or not, but usually they want lots of support and advice. And normally I try to give them all I can. Some days it goes better than others because somedays I feel better than others. However, most of the time I am able to greet them with a smile and an open mind. Here's where the kicker comes in. I became a health care provider to help women find their path and to support them on their journey. To be constantly learning and finding new solutions to everchanging problems...and I have worked myself right into a corner. I don't have enough time to REALLY help people, because I work in a mill, where time is money sister! I am so tired by the time I go home to my lovely family, that the last thing I want to do is learn more, do more and be more. So the vicious cycle begins. I have to remember, this is healthcare in general, not just me...but I take what I do so seriously, and I want women to be well. To feel well and learn how to be strong and healthy and take care of themselves. And then there are those who don't want to be well...and this is another HUGE problem in our world. We have fostered these women, allowing them time and again to not be well, and to suck energy from every turn...Ah, my soapbox is getting old.
What I really want is a world where I can take time with women who want to be well, to help them find their path and teach them. And in turn, they will teach me. And together we will go forward. Is this too much to ask??? Really?
