I had the amazing experience of being in a class with 4th year Nursing students. Their reasons for becoming Registered Nurses inspire me & have filled my heart. Thoughts from the Tractor.

I was fortunate to meet 4th year nursing students this week. To see their passion & compassion for Nursing was inspiring. We must support,share & encourage people who are starting their careers. They learn so much from the experienced person, BUT we can learn even more from them! Nursing & the next generation, there is hope! Thoughts from the Tractor.

37 years ago I started Nursing school in Calgary, Alberta. This weekend we were able to get some of us together to reminisce about nursing and how it has changed. One thing that hasn’t changed is our friendship and being accepted unconditionally. Take the time to connect with the people who fill your heart. Thoughts from the Tractor.

Where is the grass greener? If it is maybe it’s astroturf and not real. Maybe, it is being covered by compost waiting to emerge. Maybe, like us it needs time to grow out of the mess and into being healthy & happy. Running away won’t help with our growth. Taking care of ourself and setting out a path will. Thoughts from the Tractor.

When do we take the time to realize our dreams. Here NOW! Do “it” NOW, or be content with what we are doing. We have said it before, words are only words, we need to take action or be satisfied with where we are. Thoughts from the Tractor.

The growing pains of growing up from the older grown ups perspective. We love knowing our grownup kids are on their own journey. We love knowing when they have successfully landed in business or relationships. We don’t always need to know the in between. Their journey is theirs. They know to call. We know we need to just listen! Becoming better listeners with everyone, we can learn so much & we don’t have solve everything. Thoughts from the Tractor.

We thought life would get easier getting older, finding out we are wrong! We are working on figuring out what we want to do & how we are going to afford to do it in retirement! Lots of lessons. Thoughts from the Tractor.

In podcasts #72, we were super excited about making plans into reality when we got home. We got home & reality made plans for us! We aren’t beating ourselves up about it, but working together to get it done! Thoughts from the Tractor.

How many times in our life have we said, I wish I would have? Or I should have? Whether it is with your kids, your family, partner or friends, when you think of the memories, may you have tears of gratefulness for all you did & said not tears of sadness for what you should have…. Thoughts from the Tractor.

A plan is only a plan until we make it a reality! Instead of “plans” for the day, week or year, we have decided to make our “reality lists”. Working on our own boundaries for making them real. Thoughts from the Tractor.
