I have many regrets regarding this blog. It is not what I envisioned it to be. I believe that is simply because I have not dedicated the necessary time. I had so many things I wanted to document and share. So much has happened in my life in the last 18 months.
I completed my journey through nursing school. I was able to document some of my journey, but actually just scratched the surface. There was so much more to tell, but I underestimated the amount of time school would require and how easy it was to bypass blogging so I could study or spend time with the boys. It was an incredible time in my life. I did things I never thought I would and now I’m on the road to having a fulfilling, meaningful CAREER!!! I hope to be much better at chronicling the journey post nursing school. Hopefully, it will help other nursing students out there or prompt advice from veteran nursing remembering their experiences of the first nursing job and trying to find a mentor, and struggling to remember why you wanted to become a nurse in the first place.
Pressing forward into the new year. I have many challenges ahead. First, the exciting journey of finding/beginning my first nursing job. Balancing my work schedule with that of my husbands and ensuring that I’m as available as possible to my boys. My second major challenge is finally losing the weight I gained while pregnant with Elliott. At the very least I want to return to my pre baby weight. I worked so hard to get there and I need to get back there. But I’m hoping I can break through that plateau and get to my ultimate goal, 25% or less body fat. Don’t really care where that puts me numberwise on the scale, I just want to get to a healthy weight and lower my risk for diabetes. It will also allow me to be a good example for my patients. Third, I want to experience a spiritual revival. I need to get back to my spiritual roots. I have a solid faith foundation, but I am feeling the cobwebs of inattention. I need to put Christ back into the center of my life. I need to be a reflection of his love in every word and action. The only way to do that is to be rooted deep in worship, His word, and prayer.
Time to clear away the regrets, the negative, and the ineffective of the past and press forward toward the future with hope, anticipation, and purpose. If you never begin, you never reach the destination. Here’s to the beginning!!
