There are two days in every week in which we do not have to worry,
Two days,
which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One of these days is Yesterday with all its mistakes and cares, its
faults and
blunders, its aches and pains. Yesterday has passed forever beyond
our
control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We
cannot
undo a single act we performed; we cannot erase a single word said.
Yesterday
is gone forever.
The other day we should not worry about is Tomorrow with its possible
adversities, its burdens, its large promise and its poor performance.
Tomorrow
is almost beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either
in
splendor or behind a mask of clouds, but it will rise. Until it does
we have
no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet to be born.
This leaves only one day, Today. Any person can fight the battle of
just one
day. It is when you add the burdens of those two awful eternities,
Yesterday
and Tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of Today
that
drives a person mad. It is the remorse and bitterness of something,
which
happened yesterday and the dread Tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore,
live
one day at a time.

A NURSE IS MORE ©
A Nurse is more, Why?
Though nobody, can say why, for sure,
Nurse's desire, for service, is pure.
Not for themselves, it has to be for others.
A life dedicated, to their sisters and their brothers.
A Nurse is more, How?
Through reserves, of strength, care and love,
Nurses take their lead, from the power above.
Above and beyond, their duty comes first.
Their patient's needs paramount, before even hunger and
thirst.
A Nurse is more, When?
When we need them the most, at our times of ill,
Nurses come through, with their care and goodwill.
When we feel we can't go on, and wish, to give up the
ghost.
That's when our Nurses, give it their most.
A Nurse is more, Where?
In the hospital, the battlefield, the clinic, the home
and hospice,
Nurses are there, in the ER, the OR, the workplace, and
medical office.
Where we are, to go for our care, thankfully, we find
Nurses there.
Aging, sick, fearful, weary, we turn to Nurses, and know
they care.
A Nurse is More,
A Nurse is more, much more than all we've said, or all
we can say,
other than, to acknowledge the Nurses, who so brighten
our day.
In gratitude, we thank Nurses, their willingness to serve,
we find so appealing,
bringing to us, their comfort, wisdom, compassion and
healing.
