Thank you so much for sharing, Regina. Remembering what your are working for and why you are doing what you are doing is more important than the actual doing, though it makes it much better.

I am a nurse and lately we have been overloaded with high patient to nurse ratios. I was really hating my job,trying to complete one task after another, unable to fully do what really matters–CARING for the patient. So lately, before I start my morning rounds, I write a list of 10 things I love about my job. Somehow, it has helped me get through my 12 hour shifts with my spirit intact AND patients being very happy with their care! It makes a world of difference to look at the big picture.

Thanks Deb. I really appreciate your kind words. I agree, sometimes the best thing we can do is to walk away… and come back with a blast!

When I work with people who are struggling — to create something or to create a change in their lives — a time inevitably comes when it’s time to walk away. There is a period of rest that is a part of the creative process. But it works with life too. We walk away, do something else, come back and get done in an hour. The work just flows right out of us.

But I’m right there with you. I just wrote today about the ‘If Only…’ game. We put off happiness until we have achieved some goal or gotten something we want, only to find out there’s something else. It’s all about enjoying the journey and the process.

Thanks for a great post and a great reminder!
All the best!
