That dreaded time of year......

So how many of us really hate the New Year's Resolutions? I know I do. But every year I make those New Year Resolutions! Every year I fail them. It is a vicious circle. A vicious circle that needs to stop.

So what if we changed the name of them? Or maybe we just need to have one that we work on the whole year. That way maybe we can actually obtain that goal.

I know for me that those resolutions are always hanging over my head. I feel like I am a failure for not reaching them.

So this year I think that I will change the way I label the New Year's Resolution. Maybe I will call it a New Life Style for the New Year. I am only going to make one New Life Style for the New Year! That is to try and be healthier. Healthier can mean a lot. They way you eat, your exercise, outlook on life and situations. So I am choosing to try to be more positive in my daily activities. Try to change my eating habits. And yes I am going to try to do more exercising.

I want you to see that my key word in there is TRY! Not I am going to do it, I have to do it. I want to set myself up for achieving my goals, not failing them. I want to be able to achieve a better outlook of life at the end of the year, not looking back at what I failed to do.

On Facebook there was a post for every week you write down one thing that happened that was good. You put that into a jar. At the end of the year you pull all those papers out and read all the things that that have been positive during the year. Well I might have to try that. But maybe I will do that on here as part of making my life healthier.

Have a Happy New Year!

CNA Life......

I thought that I would write about my job. My job is awesome, stressful, sometimes not so glamorous, but it is definitely a rewarding job. I couldn't ask for a better job.

I have had people that tell me that it is a demeaning job. There is nothing demeaning about helping someone have a comfortable, dignified end of life. See in my job I get to help people pass on gracefully. I get to help families understand and cope with their loved ones declining in health or passing away.

We as CNA's work very hard, for little money, but we get the most rewards in our job. I take care of a lady right now. I go see her everyday except weekends. I have probable become more attached to her than any other patient I have had. She has so many stories to tell. She is an amazing lady. That is one of my perks on the job is to be able to listen to stories of their lives. How they grew up. What they did in their teenage years. How they fell in love.

So if you one of those people that think CNA's have a demeaning job. Think again. We have the most rewarding job, I think in the medical field.
