“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.” Douglas Adams
This is one of my favorite quotes. How many of us can relate? I know that when I think back to what dreams and plans I had as a child, I am not at all where I thought I would be. For this I am eternally thankful. After all, God makes no mistakes.
That is not to say that I didn’t want to become a wife, mother and nurse. That was always what I wanted. The path is what was so unexpected. From meeting my husband, to having my children to my nursing career it has been a crazy unexpected wonderful ride. I have a wonderful husband who spoils me. I have three wonderful children. I also have four beautiful grandchildren who are the light of my life. I had a career in nursing that I loved more than I thought possible.
My life has been full of twists and turns, surprises and boredom, illness and health, joy and sadness. I’ve survived the worst, and lived the best. As I look back over this voyage I have been on I feel content that I am who and where I should be and I look forward to where it takes me next.
