A window.

For September, I work 30 hours, have 18 off, work 12, have 12 off, and repeat. On the average, I spend a lot of time in the hospital, looking through windows. Windows show me the world as it occurs, a world where things are moving past me. Weather patterns change, seasons change, all of which not affecting me save by changing the ambient light in ( Read more... )

Well, I will be outside one of your windows waving and telling you how much we miss you. Mind you, this is not to attempt guilt, just to remind you that some of your friends are here, regardless.

No, I know. I feel sad. I know the world moves on without me; I know that things are happening and have happened in everyone's lives that I don't even know about.

I suppose the mood of this post should be 'lamenting'. I love my work. I love what I do, even when things aren't going well. I don't mind the sacrifices *I* make by not being around, but what have others lost? I used to think not much.

Part of me still does. I don't know. At some point I will reappear, probably at a party sometime or something similar that I can scribe onto Google Calendar.

We're seeing either Little Miss Sunshine or the Wicker Man tonight, depending on what type of movie you're in the mood for. And I swear up and down we're going dancing next Saturday night because I need it too.

Don't make me start singing Aladdin songs to you...*evil grin*

The Wicker Man looks really good. Hee.

It is hard to make that kind of choice, I'm sure. To detach yourself from your own life for the sake of others lives. But to give so freely of yourself - doesn't that bring its own rewards?
Gibran says that in any relationship there should be spaces. Even in your relationship with your job. Spaces, times set apart for other things, will make your whole life richer. You have to set aside time for yourself. It makes you a happier person, and a better doctor. Same thing, really.

just like the first commenter, I'll be outside of the window waving in and smiling and cheering you on.

Life isn't simple. Life is meant to have challenges. Life is meant for you to have doubts to run in your mind and wish you could go back and do something else. Life either makes you happy or unhappy.
