A simple Gesture

" Everybody can be great...because anybody can
 serve. You don't have to have a college degree
to serve. You don't have to make your subject and
agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace.
A soul generated by love."

      Hello to everyone.  I hope that your day has been great..I thank God for waking me up this morning and cherish the earth that I am a part of.


    Let me start by saying all week I have been nervous. I had a Dr. appt on Friday and it wasn't a normal appt. I have been in a lot of pain. It has been increasing as the days pass by. I already knew that the appt. was not going to have a good outcome.
    I had made  the mistake of choosing the Mirena as a forrm of contraceptive. It was put on last year. I have had nothing but problems since inserted. My appt. was to remove this because I had signs that I might have an IUD infection. In other words this Mirena was causing me to have an infection. Therefore I was iin pain even when I went to the bahroom. Iwas really bad off.
      I had went to the Dr. anxious and nervous because I wanted this thing removed and I needed something for the pain. Plus I want to know what is wrong with me. As I get to the office and I check in the nurse calls me in and does the usual. Checks my weight height and notices that I have a slight fever. So she asks me what was my reason for the visit. I explain and I find out that the Dr. that was to see me today is not a GYN, but a family practician. She was under the impression that I was there for a Pap check up. So they gave me an emergency referral to a GYN available. Now the appt. was at 1:oo pm.
   The Dr. that I was sent to was horrible. I went in pain ,barely can walk. The nurse at the window who registers you was nasty and the one that brings you back in even worst. But, when I finally get in to see the Dr. I was even more upset. I wanted to ask questions and he basically told me that he was only there to remove my IUD(Mirena) and that was it. He had other patients in labor and I guess to him the fact that I was concern about having an infection or something being done about my pain was out of the question. It was like hello, drop your pants open your legs, ok good bye.... Even when I checked out the girl there was too busy on the phone as the line grew. I never want to go there ever again
     A simple hello goes a long way. An act of kindness when someone feels horrible and in pain makes that person smile for a bit. The nurse at the first office was all of this and more. She took the time to acknowledge my pain. Had a conversation with me. Made my emergency appt even though it wasnt her job. Wrote down directions how to get to the other office and even gave me her card and told me that if I had a problem ever making an appt. I can call her and she will make it for me. Now that simple gesture from her heart went a long way with me. Although I was in pain placing a call to her ,I know that I would get the fastest appt. possible. This kind gesture came from her heart. I just want to thank her...... Her name is Dianne from the mountainhome Geisinger in Pa.

A Joke for the day"

   " The Blonde And The Thermos"
                 Submitted by a Faithful Our Town Reader

   A blonde was shopping at Target and came across a shiny silver She was quited fascinated by it, so she picked it up and took it to the clerk to ask what it was.
 The clerk said, "Why, that's a thermos... it keeps hot things hot, and cold things cold."
  "Wow!" said the blonde, "that's amazing... I'm going to buy it!"

 So she bought the thermos and took it to work the next day.
  Her boss saw it on her desk. "What's that ?" he asked.
 "Why that's a thermos... it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold."
 Her boss inquired, "What do you have in it?"
" Two popsicles and some coffee."

 I know a little corny but what can I say. I just read them not write them...

I have always read Chicken soup for the soul. It has a lot of stories that I can identify with. I hope the one that I have chosen will make you feel a little better... I know it does for me.
  


                                          "Don't be Afraid to Fail"

                              You've failed many times, although you may not remember .
  You fell down the first time you tried to walk.
 You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim, didn't you?
 Did you hit the ball the first time you swung a bat?
 Heavy hitters, the ones who hit the most home runs, also strike out a lot.
 R.H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.
 English novelist John Creasy got 753 rejection slips before he published 564 books.
Babe Ruth struck out 1,3330 times, but he also hit 714 home runs.
Don't worry about failure.
Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try....
