The Universe reminded me today why it was that I took my courses to become an EMT... and that's because this is what the Universe wants with me... It actually makes me feel ALIVE. It's one of the few things that can actually make me feel this anymore... and unfortunately/fortunately, I had to use those skills today. Once I noticed that there was a situation going on and that help (beyond what was available otherwise) was needed... I jumped in and there wasn't a single thought that went through my mind except for the situation at hand.
I never wanted to use my skills as an EMT at the coffeehouse, but I am ever so grateful that I lingered just a touch longer today than what I needed to. Otherwise, who knows how the situation would have ended.
At least now, I know that the patient was given the best possible care given the situation and staff at hand.
And now all it has done is resparked the fire for me to move forward with this....
And right now... I just want to DRIVE!!!!
{Edit 2034 - Part of me feels exhausted... but not really exhausted, but rather like "Everything is going to be OK with the World....". *small sigh*}
