Father's Weekend & Reflection

It's Father's day weekend and I'm sitting under the covered porch of my in-laws drinking a bloody mary feeling blessed to be feeling more like myself again. I work on a post open-heart surgery unit of a well-known hospital, I really enjoy what I do and after having a few difficult weeks at work with some tough situations, the past two days at work made me remember why I decided upon this career path. I received multiple hugs and thanks from all my patients. It was a great two days...
Now this weekend I get to see most of my family and it is much needed. I am blessed to have such a large and loving group of people that enjoys each other's company and the simple things.
Living in a big city makes it hard to slow down sometimes and I love the city, but there is nothing more relaxing than going home and spending time with my family in a quiet area enjoying each other's time and company. I will always be a small town girl at heart and I think that I need that time every once in a while I need wide open spaces with a few close friends or family. It's my outlet and I'm having an amazing time.
