Safe & Sound

I've been saying there is positive in everything, and you get what you ask for.  I've learned this lesson time and time again.  I was angry, I "asked" for more anger.  Learned this lesson once again!  What an incredible story I have to share with those that want to read it.

Safe & Sound

 There's a running joke that I'm "The Black Cloud" at my fire station, and my recently new job with an ambulance company.  That doesn't come as just a joke, there really is a Black Cloud following me.  I get all the bad bad stuff, read my previous blogs.

  This has been a hard week on my old bones.  Literally 120 hours at work, away from my family. I brought my cloud with me.  Yesterday I was on the ambulance with a mentor.  I was angry, and complaining.  He wasn't.  I got to thinking.....

  Karma, or as I say God, doesn't send the difficult problems to the weak.  God sends the difficult situations to his Warriors.  I forgot that lesson this week.  Thanks to my Medic yesterday, and a structure fire on the way home, I re-learned this.

  Positive in EVERYTHING!  It's been a very long week. But I was reminded that we can never stop being "students". Life, Fire Service, EMS, whatever your career is, family. Never stop learning. Ever.

  Long week. Lessons learned.  I'm grateful I could help others, and I'm "Safe & Sound".

  I'm also GRATEFUL for my Black Cloud.
