I made a pact a few weeks ago to find positive thing to blog about, to provide a counterpoint to my acerbic comments about my current place of employment.
So, to that end, here’s a few of my favorite things.
And yes, some of them actually have to do with working for IFT.
1) Driving an Ambulance across the 520 floating bridge on a beautiful day.
2) Doing the above with a fresh cup of coffee and classic hits on the radio.
3) Working 4 days on, and then having three in a row off to spend with my wife.
4) Selling all my accumulated junk on eBay.
5) The satisfaction that I was able to make a career change at 38, which leads to…
6) Applying to Medic School.
7) Spending time with my friends and NOT talking about work.
Walking my dogs on a sunny Seattle morning.
9) Talking to my sister, who lives in Eastern Europe, on the phone once a week.
Amen!Especially the coffee. Sorry, I’m caffeine deprived today.)
Me too! I’m off today, but I’m making a coffee run in a few minutes. It just tastes better when someone else brews it!
I try to smell the coffee every day, it can be difficult at times but vitally important if longevity in EMS is your goal. My blog has been a bit depressing lately, I think I’ll follow your lead and think of ten positives as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
Amen Michael. I try to look for the good stuff, and take it where I can find it. I’m sure you’ll find the sunlight that sneaks through the clouds.
