Reminiscing

I spent the day working on a unit that I once called home - well, my "work-home", anyhow! Several of the nurses were familiar, and we spent some time reminiscing.

One of the nurses is new since I changed roles, but we both previously worked at UNC Hospitals in their SICU. We never worked TOGETHER, but we have mutual co-workers.

We reminisced about the hospital, the staff, and the city of Chapel Hill. It's a little funny to me, we both commented on how much we loved Franklin Street, yet I know the Franklin Street that she and I both know are totally different.

Much of what was there when I was has been changed - much as been added. Yet, we both joyfully remember it....and feel connected in the experience.

I enjoy looking back, reminiscing. It reminds me of where I have been.... and where God has brought me.

I know one day, I will look back on today - on this season in my life. I am sure I will remember the joys of young children, and the struggles that go along with that....

May I face today with gratitude.....one day, I will look back with thanksgiving
