SPRING AGAIN

What a wonderful time of year. The birds have returned and sing their songs early in the morning til evening. Even as I write, 7pm (EST) the Robins sit in the tree talking to each other. My daffodils and tulips are just getting ready to bloom. I anxiously await when they will be in full color.

I have started another chapter in my life. In January, I started teaching at National College in Health Care Education. I love working with my students and sharing all that I have learned in my many years of experience both as a nurse, a patient and patient advocate. I have been told that I am a very tough teacher but that they walk away knowing more than what they walked in knowing. Something every teacher wants to hear. It is also reassuring when you have a student who signs up a second time to take another class that you are teaching. Especially when they have a choice of instructors.

I am getting ready to leave next week to attend the WOMEN OF JOY conference in Branson, MO. Three of my favorite authors will be speaking: Karen Kingsbury, Liz Curtis Higgs, and Kay Arthur. Mom and I will be driving out and taking about 1o days for the entire trip. I am really looking forward to this time.

Take time and enjoy Spring where you are. God's handiwork is everywhere.
