the day of the pink mango

hey how is everyone doing? it is so nice keeping in caontact with you this way. TC you kick ass! ICU! Uncle mike thanks for the advice and i agree about the love. couldn't survive without it! dani! loved the photo posted of irv and the stang what great growoing up memories we share.

the pink mango is different from any mango you have ever had in you life. i was feeling so low this week guys. i gotta confess. the job i am at is so challenging. and then i ate the pink mango. it is the sweetest thing in the whole world. it made me have tears in my eyes it was so good. it reminded me how sweet life is and since then i have been laughing and smiling so much. (lou- think ginger ice cream in saginaw). i am now getting into a routine and things seam much more managable. tomarrow i am going to see the new GVN volunteers at their orientation to share a liitle about volunteering iun KEnya andf hopefully meet some more friends. there is a nurse named sarah that i love who lives in the same bed that i did this past spring. she is so great and we have the same nurse philosphpy. at the end of this monthe we are planing to take a trip to the caost... dont worry mom in a large group. i thionk it wikl be nice to get away from the dut of the city for a weeend. i met a volunteer today who spent a month at my project and then a month at IDP just like i qwill be doing. it was great to share ideas. i found out there is an hiv group at camp already and a clininc that needs a nurse so that brings me excitedment.

i have to keep this short i have to go turn down a wedding proposal on may way home today so i should be going. :)

love you so much.

  1. Who would have ever imagined that a simple pink mango could bring out so much joy and happiness to your day. Your mom is right, it's all those little things in life that really make the difference. Smart lady. I'm glad your feeling better and settling in with some new found friends! A weekend trip to the coast is something to look forward to, and can help get you through the day to day stresses that your facing with your job. Hope your let your marriage proposer down easy, and that they weren't to upset. Know that we see all thinking about you, and keeping you close in our prayers. Your mom worries about you, as we all do, so it's nice that we can all keep in contact with you this way.

  2. i'm glad you found someone with the same nursing philosophy. i hope it helps you feel more connected and re-fuel your nusing spirit. i had some drinks this AM with a critical care nurse and she made me excited for my new job again. i pray for you and your work everyday. i know that you are helping to change lives over there. i lovey ou!
    i also had a physical today and i giggled at being on the 'other side'. i was also loopy after the drinks.
