I hate nursing school. I hate nursing school. I hate nursing school.

Anyone that still once to be a nurse after it is all over, clearly has a passion for it.

When the stress is down, I really love it.

Until then, I hate nursing school, I hate nursing school, I hate nursing school.


Passionate enough for you?

OK, I HATE NURSING SCHOOL.

Why are you doing something you hate?

I could have been a "supervisor" in the military, but turned it down cuz I knew I would hate it.

I don't know what mine is anymore. I'm hoping it will find me.

I'm always telling people to find their passion and I ignore my own... Fuck if I know...

I do want to start writing again.
I want to take piano lessons again
I want to find all my freckles :(

Still exploring...

Z, my grandmother was a seamstress her whole life. She never taught my mother, aunt or me how to sew anything except a button back on.
After she died, I would put ripped blouses or pants that needed to be re-hemmed on her sewing machine. - I guess i was thinking that they would magically get fixed. Eventually I fixed them myself - but they also looked like I fixed them ...lol

What I'm working on right now is to get through the entire grocery store without having a panic attack... That would be a big step for me.

TD, I don't plan on staying in school the rest of my life.

Nursing, I love. When the stress is down I love it. I love the residents at the nursing home. I love helping people through some of the worst times in their lives. I felt priviledged helping people through their last hours on this earth. I love understanding the pathophysiology, and medicines and how they work and why.

I happily read and listen to the lectures.

If I hit the lottery, I'd still stay in school. I'd be a WHOLE lot less stressed, but I'd stay. I'd probably volunteer or something after I graduated.

Guys, I have a sneaking suspicion that Rman has a pee-pee.

a passionate 40........

I've completely lost my passion for things. Nothing holds my interest for too long anymore. I'm working on it....and I know I'll find things that I'm passionate for. It's only a matter of time. Right now....I'm just trying to get through the divorce so I know once this is done I can start focusing on the things I want to do. So I'm just trying to focus on getting through this.

Yeah.. I feel you Kabira...where did my friends go? When you're married with kids it becomes about the playgroups and the mommy thing, but not the "tear up the town" thing. I like to make jewelry, and use to make Renaissance gowns and Halloween cotumes. I love to cook, love buying fresh bluberries and whipping up some muffins or from-scratch brownies. I like trying new soup/chowder recipes, and get a Rachael Ray mag that I usually pick a few new things every week to try. Recently it was simple, just reduce apple cider down to a syrup and whisk butter into it for pancakes or toast. Honestly I love to dance, like at clubs in NY, but my age and living in mid MI translates to ridiculous music and me looking ridiculous. I found spending so much time and energy investing into a marriage with a man who seethes anger has killed me creatively. I don't want to succumb to bitterness, and wonder where that spark of life went. There's a program through my nursing school that sends people to Kenya to deliver babies. I'm seriously thinking about it as it might be the kind of thing to break me out of the self-pity cycle. My concerns are that my kids will really be taken care of and that Kenya's on the list of countries to avoid as an American, that no part of it is considered "safe" and tey recommend you register with the embassy just in case something happens to you.

I have to many passions to list. But I never sit idle for long anymore. I do read alot as I dont watch tv. I'm re-reading classics that I have always loved. Currently im working on pride and prejudice.

I had to learn about me and who I was. Then I had to love me again before I could move on. There was alot that I had to learn. The main thing was that only I can make me happy. No one else can. That is my job.

Photography, friends, Blues and BBQ and I am enjoying the hell out of life........ NEWBIES it does get better, and Better, and BETTER.....

Oh pemdcat! I used to LOVE the blues too. Lived in Mississippi for a couple years near BB King's birth place. He has a birthday party there every year and comes and plays. It was magical hearing real blues played by truly amazing blues artists at so many places in the south. I miss it! You just made me remember that! Thanks!
