Bring it on life!

Little did I know that a visit to one of the best hospitals in the world would give me a deeper perspective to life.  Just a few such insights:

• No matter what your/your loved ones’ problems are, there are worse people out there especially in a hospital. 
• Such people also unfortunately include very young children and those young children have the best smiles in the world. Their physical/mental ailments have no bearing on their gorgeous smiles.
• Caregivers of such unwell children also share genuine hearty smiles, suggesting they accept the fact that these children are indeed very special and they experience true joy in taking care of them, despite it being the hardest job on earth.
• There are indeed kind-hearted, extremely  efficient, amazing nurses with nimble fingers that adeptly do the piercing on your little one’s hands, and magically, they are on duty, when it is your turn to be there.
• A test that seems to take forever doesn’t seem that long at all especially when the nurse suggests that you take a nap along side your little one, sets you up a pillow and a warm blanket.  A 9 AM nap is virtually unimaginable, but given the circumstances where there is no laundry to fold, dishes to wash or food to be cooked, thanks to being in a hospital, the only thought that seems to prevail is, “Thank God for what I have at this very moment (although in a hospital)!” 🙂
• All in all, a long day ends with a healthy thought: trying times? Bring it on! I will find the silver lining no matter how trying!!! 🙂
