With all of the craziness in this world, at times we need to be subjected to things that can bring us back to reality from time to time.

As some of you know, I work at a children's hospital and although it can be tough seeing sick children, we know that they are getting the best care possible.

I went into work today expecting to work the usual 8 hours and then head home.

I went with a co-worker to get breakfast from one of the lunch trucks outside of the hospital and saw a family walking to the entrance of the hospital.  The mom was carrying their baby and next to them was the dad who had some sort of neurological disorder.  This man's legs were wobbling and shaking and it looked as if each step he took was causing him pain but with each step he took, he was smiling and talking to his baby.

Later in the day, I was taking the elevator back to my office and was joined in the elevator by a mom and her little daughter.  This little girl, who had bone deformities of her arms was sitting in her stroller quietly until I said hello to her.  She started to tell me about how she was going to "swimmin' therapy" and then asked her mom to show me her new bathing suit.

Yes, working at a children's hospital you expect to see things that will break your heart but at the end of the day, you just have to realize that things just aren't as bad as you think they are.

Oh Man!!!!!!!!!  thank you for sharing that Cyn.

Wise words for careful reflection.

Thank you, Cyn.
