Love working up late at night until my shift ends next morning daylight, listening to my patients heart rate, black clouds hanging low over me, feeling the pain in my neck, sitting in my chair by their bed, treating them in the best way, and then my heart with
pleasure fills dancing with her highness: happiness.Loved resting and lying on my bed after all day long. Loved creating all the delicious dishes here, that can be eaten in small portions many times a day.Look at life as a fascinating book; realize that I should never get stuck, but always get up.
