So I'm not sure what direction this blog is going to take. I think They say that a blog should be a good reflection of yourself. So if that's true, then get ready for a train that jumps the tracks a LOT.
The thing that finally prompted me to start this up (after ruminating over the possibility for about 4 years since I shut down my last, homemade blog) was a conversation I had this morning with my 9-year-old son.
We were at the doctor's office for a checkup, waiting in the exam room for the physician to show up (ahem). D was looking out the window, with this thoughtful look on his face. I asked what he was looking at, and he said, "Just the trucks moving around outside." So I gave him a little window tour...
"That building right there is where I went to nursing school. Well, the actual buildings where I had classes are mostly gone, but that's where they were. The one you see there is new since I went there. And that building there, across the courtyard? That's where my new office is going to be."
He chewed on that for a few seconds and then said, "It's hard to think that you've come so far as a nurse, but you're so close to where you started."
"You never cease to amaze me. That was really deep, dude." I couldn't keep from calling him "dude" -- seems right if you point out that someone made a deep comment.
He then told me, "Yeah, you know, there's usually a lot going on up here," pointing at his head. "Like, when I'm thinking, it's usually about blasting things or locking doors."
My genius.
He completely shattered that moment. I love that, though: blasting things and locking doors.
