I love the patients here. I don't do a lot of patient care but I love to fuss over the little people and check on them in the OR and then reassure their parents while they are waiting. And today several folks slid me some cough drops (it's considered candy here and given as gifts) or little treats or kisses or "Dio te Bendigas" or hugs. It's cool to see people come back for their check ups at the clinic with beaming faces, showing off their scars and thanking us.
I'm tired now. Bone tired. Sorta exhausted, actually. 13 hours kinda kicked my butt. But I'm feeling today like this team did some excellent work and made a big difference to a lot of folks. Feeling like today really MATTERED, like God was showering kindness on me and folks around me. It's funny that a few times this week I've really NEEDED to find something that was rather "unfindable" and after breathing some of those prayers that basically are just "help me help me help me", the items rather miraculously were found. I know it's a Jesus thing- I just know it.
Beautiful days. Glorious. And I climbed a mountain in El Cercado over the weekend and I am speechless. What. A. View. Why is it more and more beautiful? Why is the world spinning faster and faster and I feel like the days blow by in seconds?
Game on. I want to live it. I'm gonna try to keep up.
