MIstakes happen.

Time is a premium in my life these days, but this Saturday I had a moment to browse my own blog. Thank goodness I did because I found a word spelled incorrectly. It was on my profile and should have been caught very quickly and easily during a proof read. This is why time is so precious. Had I taken the time to proof read properly my identity as a writer may not have been challenged.

The mistake here was not just an incorrectly spelled word, but a blatant misuse of time. This is a mistake often made in today's society and I write today to urge everyone to stop and take the time needed to be who they are. There are no guarantees in this world except that there are no guarantees. Don't misuse your time.

As a chemo nurse I see many wishing for more time, but the truth is none of us know how much time we have. Seeing the sunset does not ensure you will see the sunrise, so making the most of every moment is essential to overcome our lack of time.

Monday morning a patient came into the chemo room sporting a grin from ear to ear and announced she was cancer free. Her year long battle had been won. Now she had the time she prayed for and was able to live her life. Tuesday I received an email to inform me of her sudden passing in the night.
