First I would like to apologise for no posts this week, it has been a week I would like to remove from my diary for ever, but, from bad moments in our life we can and should find something good, if you and your family,friends and people you care for are healthy it is one of the greatest gifts you can ever recieve.  Being fortunate in the fact that the hospital is not part of our normal life, to be thrown in there with no prior warning or desire, we start to see things in a different light, the one thing in common that everyone has within those walls is that they are either ill or caring for someone who is. The anxiety levels soar up,and your calm and demure side kicks in to those you don’t want to show how you feel inside,the combination leaves you finding an innerself you may not know you had or had never before been so deep. Your personal situation may improve or not, but you start to realise that there is another common denominater,everyone suffers the sick and the carer,you even suffer for the people you do not know and have no connection to you, you find your compassion for others on an entirely different level,we find hope and hold on tight,we hope for others and you know deep down that they also have hope for you. There is a silent connection between you all, you have to give your total admiration for the staff within that building, from the cleaner to the chief of staff, they are always pleasant,they smile,they acknowledge you and your personal situations in a very special way, how fortunate are we to be surrounded by people who all have that special ability,to express there unconditional pledge to people that they do not know, but are totally aware of your needs at any given moment,and give 100% every day, then we have the medical professionals who apart from there dedication and who have found there true calling,there life purpose, who are at times that one person who has to deliver the worst news you ever want to hear,or the best news.How do they handle that permanent emotional ride,they are not emotionally involved with there patients but they are people,great people at that,who  deal with emotion in all shapes and sizes everyday, it is an added gift that they have apart from there professional academic skills. So my point today is that we need to find time to send a thought to all who need it, and not to forget that it could be us that will need that thought one day, the thought of appreciation to people we do not know,a thought of thankfulness that people of this special kind exist,a thought of gratitude for the health we have and that of are loved ones………………… A thought that………..even on the worst days there is a possibility of joy and being grateful for everything we have and everything we are and wish to be…………………………………………….Just one simple thought a day.
