my life is like I'll read it later
Looking a my desk which is heaped with papers. ..I suddenly realize when I save paper it is usually because I say i'll read it later. I live my life in such a manner...I'll get to it later. I'm not in the moment...either I put actions, people, or thoughts till later. I have the chance to change this way of living by choosing to participate fully and in the moment. Somethings in life can't be put off till later.
Recently I experienced what putting off what you plan till later. A patient I have been caring for several years has been trying to catch my attention. I was aware she was in the process of dying but I never seemed to have a spare minute to give her more than cursitory nursing care. My employer gives way to many tasks to complete in a shift stil I wish I made time for Eleanor. You quessed she finally did die..I didn't give her a hug...or tell her something reassuring instead I as usual hurried to the next patient. Shame on me ...
